About Airtable
A database your ops team does fill in.
Airtable was founded in San Francisco in 2012 by Howie Liu, Andrew Ofstad and Emmett Nicholas, and hit an 11 billion dollar valuation in December 2021 on a 735 million dollar Series F. The homepage today claims 500,000 teams, with logos from Amazon, Walmart, Netflix, OpenAI and Anthropic. Unlike a docs-first tool, Airtable is database-first: every base is a set of tables with typed fields, linked records across tables, and a grid, gallery, kanban, calendar or timeline view over the same rows.
Product surfaces on top of that core are Interface Designer, Automations, Sync and the AI layer (Omni for app building, Field Agents for in-row AI). What makes Airtable interesting to report on is the same thing that makes it spread: every team designs their own tables, so a marketing team's content calendar, a product team's feature tracker, an ops team's vendor list and a sales team's deal pipeline all live as bases with different shapes. Pulling Airtable into a warehouse turns that collection of bases into something you can audit, join to the rest of the business, and keep honest.
