Whalesync makes data syncing easy. Our automation platform syncs data between key business tools like Webflow/Wix/WordPress and Airtable/Notion/Google Sheets. We give marketing teams two-way, real-time sync, so they can manage their website from their favorite collaboration tools.
Whalesync launched during Y Combinator’s S21 cohort. Since then we’ve raised from some of the world’s top investors. We’re now trusted by hundreds of companies like Ramp, Webflow, and Alchemy, and process millions of transactions every day. Many of our customers enjoy the product so much they tell all their friends.
Whalesync is a Seattle-based startup that builds a no-code platform enabling businesses to sync data bidirectionally across popular tools like Airtable, Notion, Webflow, HubSpot, and Postgres. Its product empowers users to manage website content, CRM data, marketing campaigns, and databases directly from familiar spreadsheet interfaces, eliminating the need for complex engineering or manual CSV exports. This approach addresses the widespread challenge of fragmented data across SaaS applications, especially for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and remote teams, by providing "spreadsheet superpowers" that streamline workflows and improve operational efficiency. Whalesync has gained traction with hundreds of customers, including enterprises and startups, and competes with automation and data integration platforms like Zapier and HubSpot’s PieSync[1][2][3][4][5].
Founded in 2021 by Curtis Fonger and Matthew Busel, Whalesync emerged from the Y Combinator Summer 2021 batch. Curtis Fonger previously founded Appetas, a startup focused on restaurant websites acquired by Google, where he worked as an engineer. Matthew Busel has a background in product management and software consulting, with experience founding a Slack integration startup. The founders met through Y Combinator’s founder matching platform, marking Whalesync as the first YC startup formed this way. The idea originated from recognizing the pain operators experienced syncing data between tools like Webflow and Airtable. As they engaged with more users, they realized the problem was broader, affecting sales reps, developers, and investors who struggled with manual data transfers and integrations across various SaaS tools[1][2].
Whalesync rides the growing trend of no-code/low-code tools and the explosion of vertical SaaS applications that businesses use to manage specialized functions. Despite the proliferation of apps, spreadsheets remain the universal interface for data manipulation, used by over a billion people globally. Whalesync’s timing is critical as companies increasingly demand seamless interoperability between their SaaS stacks without relying on engineering resources. The rise of remote work further amplifies the need for automated, reliable data sync to keep distributed teams aligned. By simplifying data integration and enabling spreadsheet-driven workflows, Whalesync influences the ecosystem by democratizing access to powerful data operations and accelerating digital transformation for SMBs and enterprises alike[2][3][4].
Whalesync is poised to expand its footprint by deepening integrations, enhancing automation capabilities, and scaling its user base beyond hundreds to thousands of companies. Future trends shaping its journey include the continued rise of no-code platforms, AI-driven workflow automation, and the increasing complexity of SaaS ecosystems demanding robust data orchestration. As Whalesync evolves, it could become a foundational layer for operational data management, enabling businesses to unlock new efficiencies and insights from their interconnected tools. Its emphasis on ease of use and spreadsheet familiarity positions it well to capture a broad market segment, especially among remote-first and SMB customers seeking to optimize their workflows without heavy technical overhead[1][2][3][5].
