Tech Startup Stainless Lands 25M To Unleash Api Integration Revolution

Stainless Secures $25M Series A Funding to Revolutionize API Integration

New York City-based Stainless, a pioneering tech startup specializing in API integration, has secured $25 million in Series A funding. Backed by prominent investors like Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Sequoia, The General Partnership, Felicis, Zapier, and MongoDB Ventures, the round underscores the growing demand for robust API tools.

With this influx of capital, Stainless plans to amplify its development team and bolster its platform, catering to the escalating expectations of developers as AI continues to shape industries. The company envisions itself as the premier solution for all API-related development needs. Founded in 2022, Stainless has been working tirelessly to democratize API integration through its innovative Stainless SDK generator.

The auto-generated SDKs enable customers to focus on building exceptional APIs, rather than wrestling with complex integration tasks. The company powers SDKs for visionary AI platforms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, as well as forward-thinking fintech companies such as Modern Treasury and Orb. Developer-centric platforms like Cloudflare and Mux also rely on Stainless’s expertise in handling intricate tasks like auto-pagination, retries, and version management.

According to Alex Rattray, founder at Stainless, “APIs are omnipresent. They fuel your favorite apps, empower groundbreaking AI experiences, and facilitate secure financial transactions. However, for developers, the experience of integrating with APIs hasn’t kept pace with their significance.” A bad SDK can have far-reaching consequences, Jennifer Li, lead partner at a16z, observed. “It’s essential to prioritize robust SDK development to ensure seamless integrations.”

As Stainless continues to expand its reach and capabilities, the company remains committed to simplifying API integration for developers worldwide. With this new funding, it’s poised to drive innovation in the API landscape, further solidifying its position as a leader in API integration solutions.
