Bubble: Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2021

Though we be but little, we are fierce.

For years, we have been a small team with big ambitions: our mission at Bubble has been to change the way people build software, start businesses, and interact with technology. This year, Bubble has been named in Fast Company’s prestigious annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Small and Mighty Companies for 2021.

2020 was a big year for us as a company. In the past year, we've grown to over 800,000 users building startups and web apps with no-code. We launched integrations with others in the no-code and web tool ecosystem, including Airtable, Figma and Zapier. We developed Bubble's learning Academy, released more than 50 free How To Build tutorials, debuted our Immerse pre-accelerator program for underrepresented founders, and organized educational courses at universities like Yale, Stanford and the University of Notre Dame – all in support of empowering more non-technical people to build digital products. We've nearly doubled the number of people working at Bubble in our engineering, product, success, and growth teams to help make Bubble the best no-code platform for you.

The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s signature franchise, and we are thrilled to join the ranks of the companies it highlights. This year, Fast Company recognized organizations with fewer than 50 employees that "have punched well above their weight" in their field – including Bubble.

"In a year of unprecedented challenges, the companies on this list exhibit fearlessness, ingenuity, and creativity in the face of crisis."
Fast Company Deputy Editor David Lidsky, who oversaw the issue with Senior Editor Amy Farley

We couldn't have done this without you, our users – you are the reason we work tirelessly to expand, improve, and innovate the platform. In the near future, you can expect to see us outgrow the "small" side of our mighty title, and one day, we hope to see you on this list with us.
