Overview
Retool is a San Francisco-based enterprise software company, founded in 2017 by CEO David Hsu, that lets engineering teams build internal business applications — admin panels, dashboards, and operational tools — far faster than coding them from scratch, by assembling pre-built UI components with connections to internal databases and APIs. The platform is used by more than 10,000 organizations, including Amazon, Stripe, Adobe, Brex, DoorDash, Snowflake and the NFL, spanning offices in San Francisco, New York, Seattle and London.
Retool has raised venture funding from Sequoia Capital, which led each of its disclosed priced rounds, alongside individual technology investors such as Stripe co-founders John and Patrick Collison, former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman, and Elad Gil. Its most recent disclosed round, a $45 million Series C2 in July 2022, valued the company at $3.2 billion. In 2025, Retool expanded into AI-generated software with the launch of Enterprise AppGen and Agents, and in December 2025 it signed a multi-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services to bring that AI application-generation platform to joint enterprise customers.
Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and involve risk of complete loss of principal. You should be prepared to hold private securities for an extended period; there is no assurance of a secondary market, an IPO, or other liquidity event. You are fully responsible for conducting your own due diligence. Pricing is indicative — nothing here is an offer of securities.
