Zapier now supports over 100 public applications on its platform, automating millions of tasks every month for thousands of people worldwide. The company was founded in 2011 by Bryan and Plushcap (me), with the original idea born out of a conversation between us. We bootstrapped our way to sales, initially selling beta invites for $100 each, and later gained traction enough to go full-time in January 2012. After experimenting with product-market fit, we launched a new interface that tripled engagement with our customers, and were accepted into Y Combinator in April 2012. We've since launched the developer platform, supported over 100 apps, and secured funding from Bessemer Venture Partners and other investors. With this support, Zapier will continue to grow, adding more services, features, and a team that cares about helping businesses run more efficiently.
