.@zapier built a $140M ARR business on $1.4M in VC that has become the logic layer of the no-code industry.
But it has the potential to be something even bigger: the Netflix of productivity.
Our report and a thread 👉
We believe @seqouia and @steadfast got a good deal buying into Zapier at $5B.
We value Zapier at $7B based on:
- 30-50% YoY growth over the next five years
- Zapier’s monopoly status in the solopreneur/SMB market
- 30-40% YoY growth of no-code TAM
No-code is huge and growing, but as @edavidpeterson has written, no-code is about more than tools: it’s about a philosophy that emphasizes interoperability and customizing your software to your needs.

.@zapier enabled interoperability by building a solution to one of the intractable problems in SaaS: APIs that don’t talk to each other.
The product took off and hit $100M ARR in just 9 years, comparable to companies that have raised 100x as much money.

Zapier was riding an explosion in APIs that started the same year they were founded—2011.
Suddenly, every SaaS business wanted to offer its users extensibility, but not spend time figuring out what integrations to build or building them.
That’s where Zapier came in handy.

Trying this on for size\u2026

\u201cNo code\u201d isn\u2019t a coherent category. It\u2019s a design philosophy.
But tools built with this philosophy in mind will be the biggest winners of the next decade.
Let me explain what I mean by way of analogy.
