Zapier operates a platform for business process automation and application integration that enables users to create automated workflows called Zaps connecting over 7,000 apps. Zaps consist of triggers from one app leading to actions in others, with additional products including Zapier Tables as a no-code database, Zapier Interfaces for custom web forms, Zapier Canvas for diagramming launched in 2023, and Zapier Copilot for natural language workflow building. It serves over 2 million businesses, including 69% of the Fortune 1000 and small to mid-sized companies such as Calendly, ServiceTitan, and Lucidchart. The company was co-founded in 2011 in Columbia, Missouri by Wade Foster (CEO), Bryan Helmig, and Mike Knoop. Zapier raised $1.2 million in a seed round in 2012 led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Draper Fisher Jurvetson, with a total of about $1.4 million across three rounds; in 2021, Sequoia Capital and Steadfast Financial bought shares in a secondary transaction valuing it at $5 billion. Zapier functions as a fully remote distributed company with 700-800 employees across 38 countries and headquarters in San Francisco, California.
