Gumloop, a no-code platform enabling users to implement AI automation without technical expertise, has raised $17 million in a Series A funding round led by Nexus Venture Partners, with participation from First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and notable angel investors. Initially started as a side project to solve a simple problem for non-technical users in a Discord server, the company has grown substantially over 574 days, now serving thousands of businesses, including major companies like Instacart and Webflow. The platform empowers users to create complex automations that can replace traditional SaaS products, thus enhancing productivity and reducing costs. Despite running a lean operation with only two founders and minimal staff, Gumloop plans to expand its team, focusing on hiring top talent to sustain its high throughput per employee. The additional funding is intended to accelerate product development and seize the current opportunities in AI tooling, positioning Gumloop to fundamentally transform how businesses leverage AI by allowing anyone to become an AI engineer, regardless of technical background.
