Airtable is a San Francisco cloud platform for relational data, custom applications, workflow automation, and AI tools. Howie Liu, Andrew Ofstad, and Emmett Nicholas founded it in 2012. Bending Spoons completed its acquisition of Airtable on September 4, 2026.
What does Airtable do?
Airtable combines linked records and spreadsheet-style views with interfaces, automations, integrations, and application-building tools. Airtable AI adds summarization, categorization, content generation, translation, and routing features. Cobuilder, launched in 2024, generates a customizable application from a natural-language description.
How does Airtable make money?
Airtable sells cloud software subscriptions and also provides a free plan. Paid capabilities vary by plan and include additional capacity, collaboration, administration, automation, support, app building, and AI. Airtable does not publish audited standalone annual revenue or product-level revenue shares.
What is Airtable's ARR?
Bending Spoons reported that Airtable's annual recurring revenue was growing more than 20% year over year and was approximately $480 million as of June 2026. ARR is a subscription run-rate metric and should not be treated as audited annual revenue.
Funding and valuation
Airtable raised $735 million in its December 2021 Series F, bringing total investment to $1.36 billion. The round valued Airtable at $11 billion pre-money. That was a historical funding valuation, not a current valuation. In August 2026, Bending Spoons agreed to buy Airtable at a $1.285 billion enterprise value, implying an approximately $2.25 billion equity value after Airtable's net cash.
Ownership and leadership
Bending Spoons acquired 100% of Airtable's outstanding shares in September 2026. Howie Liu was Airtable's co-founder and CEO before closing. The closing announcement describes Liu as a co-founder and does not name a standalone post-acquisition Airtable CEO. Luca Ferrari is CEO of Bending Spoons and should not be presented as Airtable's CEO without a separate appointment.
Workforce changes
Airtable reduced its workforce by 254 employees in December 2022 while refocusing on large enterprise customers. In September 2023, it announced another reduction of 237 employees. Airtable's current about page reports 700 people across five offices.
Acquisitions
Airtable's verified acquisitions include the Bayes team and assets in 2021, Dopt in 2024, and DeepSky in 2025. Airtable said these deals supported data visualization, AI-driven product growth, and AI research. The announced purchase prices were not public.
