What Airtable does
Airtable makes software that blends a spreadsheet with a database so teams can build apps without code.[1] Airtable now sits in a Bending Spoons portfolio that also includes AOL, Brightcove, Eventbrite, Evernote, Tractive, Vimeo and WeTransfer.[2] CEO Howie Liu said in January 2026 that Airtable serves over 500,000 organizations, including 80% of the Fortune 100, when the company introduced Superagent, an orchestration platform for teams of AI agents.[3],[1]
Leadership
- Bending Spoons CEO Luca Ferrari said Airtable's annual recurring revenue grew over 20% year over year to approximately $480 million as of June 2026.[3]
Airtable profile
written 2026-10-24Airtable is a no-code app and database platform; Bending Spoons completed its acquisition of the company on September 4, 2026.
What Airtable does
Airtable sells a platform for building apps, databases and workflows with little code, and has added AI agents on top. Its home page lists AI app building, agents at scale and an assistant called Omni, and says its HyperDB database has record limits in the hundreds of millions.[1]
Airtable's pricing page lists a Free plan, a Team plan at $20/user/month when billed annually, a Business plan at $45/user/month when billed annually, and custom pricing for the Enterprise Scale plan. Plans are charged per seat.[2]
Airtable's own about page claims 500,000 companies build in the product, 10M active users and 90% of the Fortune 100. TechCrunch quotes chief executive Howie Liu saying 80% of the Fortune 100 in January 2026, so the company's own usage claims do not agree on that figure.[3],[4]
History
Airtable says on its about page that it has 700 people in five offices: San Francisco, Austin, London, New York and Sydney.[3]
Airtable unveiled a product line called Superagent in January 2026, according to TechCrunch, which describes it as an orchestration platform that helps users spin up a team of AI agents to do tasks.[4]
Funding and acquisition
Airtable has raised more than $1.4 billion across multiple funding rounds, according to TechCrunch. The same article says Airtable was valued at over $11 billion at its 2021 peak, and that earlier in 2026 its shares were said to trade on secondary markets at a valuation of $4 billion.[4]
Airtable's annual recurring revenue was growing over 20% year over year to approximately $480 million as of June 2026, according to a statement from Bending Spoons founder Luca Ferrari. That is the buyer's figure as quoted by TechCrunch, and no Airtable-published financials were found to check it against.[4]
Airtable became a Bending Spoons company on September 4, 2026, when Bending Spoons announced it had completed the acquisition. In the release, Bending Spoons said it acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Airtable in an all-cash transaction. Latham & Watkins LLP acted as legal counsel and AXOM Partners LLC as financial advisor to Airtable.[5]
Airtable's new owner went public at an $18 billion valuation in July 2026, according to TechCrunch, which says Bending Spoons typically acquires companies trading at a decent discount to their private valuations, trims the staff and streamlines products.[4]
Airtable's staffing plans under Bending Spoons are not stated in the sources reviewed. TNW notes that Bending Spoons laid off 129 staff after buying Evernote, and that WeTransfer planned to cut about 75% of staff after its 2024 acquisition.[6]
People
Airtable co-founder Howie Liu said in the completion release that he is proud of what the Airtable team has built and excited to see the business enter its next chapter. TechCrunch identified him as the company's chief executive in January 2026. The sources reviewed do not say what role Liu has after the sale.[5],[4]
Airtable's buyer is represented in the deal coverage by Luca Ferrari, whom TechCrunch calls Bending Spoons' founder and TNW calls its CEO.[4],[6]
Customers and partners
Airtable's about page names OpenAI, eBay and West Elm as customers. It says OpenAI runs product operations in one shared system, eBay processes customer feedback at scale, and West Elm manages seasons of creative work across its studio teams.[3]
Airtable's home page says its AI features can use models from OpenAI, Gemini, Llama and Anthropic, and lists an MCP integration so that users can work from outside AI assistants, with the activity trail landing in Airtable.[1]
