Before Retool, our co-founders tried to build a Venmo competitor but failed to reach product-market fit. While their first product didn't work out, they came away with an important lesson: great internal tooling can help startup founders fill early product gaps and speed up manual work. The only issue was that building these tools was too slow and repetitive. So they decided to build a better solution. Today, Retool helps thousands of startups like Brex and DoorDash build custom internal tools without wasting time on redundant work. Retool helps early-stage teams operate fast without all the restrictions that come with spreadsheets, SaaS tools, or manual workarounds. We believe great tooling can help startups focus on building better products. That's why we're excited to announce that Retool is now free for early-stage startups.
