"Regardless of industry, virtually every company today is a software company," said Tony Beltramelli, CEO and Co-Founder of Uizard, and Forbes 30 under 30 lister. "With this new round of funding, Uizard will be able to make key hires to help us scale our platform globally. Every company needs to design user-friendly software either to serve its customers or to serve its staff and operations."
"We at Insight are excited about Uizard's vision of enabling a new wave of citizen designers by harnessing the power of AI in their intuitive and powerful app-building design platform," said Nikhil Sachdev, Managing Director at Insight Partners. "We're thrilled to play a part in the company's growth story and look forward to working together to help them become a category leader."
Driven by the consumerization of enterprise software and increasing customer demand for good design, companies now live or die by the design of their product. The growing need for democratizing design within organizations is specifically what's driving Uizard's momentum. It's no longer just designers that need to take part in design processes.
