Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Dramatic shifts over the last few years have forced businesses to reimagine their engagement practices, obliging many to increase or add an online presence. With little expertise or budget, a market blossomed for low-budget and low-code software solutions for businesses of all scales, and Builder, founded in 2012, was quick to capitalize on this.
Its headless CMS platform enables users to drag-and-drop to build highly customized low-code software-like apps in as little as a day, then helps users scale and maintain their product. Tapping into this non-expert market with a uniquely easy interface no doubt helped Builder’s user base grow nearly 3x, adding customers like NBC and the BBC to its roster.
With low code development platforms expected to account for 65% of application development by 2030, and become in itself a nearly $200 billion market, a service providing unrivaled ease of use is likely to win big with customers in need of low-complexity software.
