Our take

Tyk provides an API management platform that allows companies to share data securely with third parties, allowing them to sell their services through non-direct channels.

The API gateway and management platform serves as a management and security layer between APIs, to make it easier for businesses to harness their power on a huge scale. Product acts as a security layer between the organisation’s API and those who require access to it.

The company powers millions of transactions per day, for thousands of organisations including AXA, Cisco, Trip Advisor, Starbucks, Domino’s, Sephora and the UK Ministry of Justice.

The company used its 2021 funding to accelerate the growth of its API management platform, particularly around the GraphQL-focused Universal Data Graph product.
