At Hoppscotch, our focus has been on empowering developers to focus on their work of building and testing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). In the past year, we have come a long way and we are excited to share the latest milestones in our journey.
Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $3M in seed funding led by OSS Capital! Additionally, we are excited to share a slew of new product updates aimed at re-envisioning the principles and practices to continue developing the best-in-class tool for developers to create APIs.
Thousands of companies –from early teams to growth-stage –use Hoppscotch to develop and test APIs. Employees from Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, IBM, Cisco, RedHat, Verizon, Emirates, OLX are just a few examples.
Hoppscotch’s tools and API development methodologies are becoming the standard for high-performing teams, and the 500,000+ people-strong Hoppscotch community represents a welcoming and fast-growing hub of globally productive developers. Tools like Hoppscotch have become even more critical as companies operate on headless API-driven methodologies. APIs represent the future of making software and communicating data.
Following our progress, and to accelerate and continue taking Hoppscotch to the next level, we’ve partnered with OSS Capital for our Seed. Joseph Jacks (general partner, OSS Capital) led our seed round and joins our board. We admire and resonate with OSS Capital’s and Joseph’s long-term approach to company building and respect their exceptional track record of backing next-generation, category-defining COSS companies.
“OSS Capital is honored to partner with Liyas Thomas in leading the seed round for Hoppscotch, alongside Automattic — the creators of WordPress. Since first learning about Liyas and his work through the DEV.to community, our first seed investment, we quickly developed a strong sense of the passion, authenticity, and exceptional vibrancy exhibited in the Hoppscotch community. As API-driven development continues to become a fundamental driver of digital innovation and transformation, we believe Hoppscotch will shape and further evolve the cutting edge of API tooling for developers everywhere. In a short period since launching, Hoppscotch has captured the adoption and loyalty of 500,000+ developers globally, and established itself as the fastest-growing open-source ecosystem in India, and globally in its category. Congratulations to Liyas and team on their success so far!”
