Overview

Framer is a no-code website builder that enables teams to create and update dynamic websites without developer support. The product is positioned for designers and has recently added analytics and enterprise security features. The company reports over half a million monthly active users and reached $50 million in annual recurring revenue this year, and has been break-even for the past year. Framer aims to cross $100 million ARR next year and says it will double down on enterprise growth and AI so companies can run their entire .com. Founded in Amsterdam by Koen Bok and Jorn van Dijk, the company has been investing more heavily into its enterprise business. Customers cited include Miro, Perplexity, Scale AI, and 40% of the most recent Y Combinator batch. Framer is an Amsterdam-based provider of an AI-powered web design platform for building professional websites. The platform emphasizes best-in-class SEO, site performance, and hosting and is used by companies such as MessageBird, Superhuman, Twingate, and Whereby. Co-founded by Koen Bok and Jorn van Dijk, Framer enables companies to build their entire web presence. The company is developing features for larger sites, including localization, custom forms, and additional enterprise-level integrations. Framer intends to use new funding to scale product and commercial teams, especially in Europe and the US. The company's current financial update includes a $27M Series C announced in February 2023. Framer builds Framer X, an integrated design, prototyping and developer-handoff platform powered by the React framework that lets teams create interactive, production-quality app designs and export front-end code. The product emphasizes off-the-shelf interactivity and the ability to import and reuse production components and assets, which Framer supports via a Framer X Store of React-based components. The company is positioning itself as a platform play, using the store to create network effects by enabling third-party components such as video players, maps, and UI kits. Framer recently announced a beta private Team Store to let companies share brand assets and internal interactive design systems. The startup was founded in 2014 by Koen Bok and Jorn van Dijk, who previously sold their studio Sofa to Facebook in 2011 and worked at Facebook. Financially, the company has raised a total of $33 million to date, including the new Series B. Framer offers a combined visual design studio and high-fidelity prototyping tool that consolidates design and prototyping workflows in a browser-based app. The product includes vector editing with perfect SVG output, responsive-by-default designs, and developer handoff features. In 2017 Framer launched a fully integrated visual design studio aimed at graphic designers to broaden its market and claims feature parity with tools like InVision, Sketch and Figma. The company reported a tenfold increase in enterprise accounts in 2017, onboarding customers including Google, Twitter and Facebook, and gained traction in markets such as South Korea and China. Framer plans to use the new funding to ramp up product development, hire across every team, and invest in design education and training. The company was co-founded in 2013 and is based in Amsterdam.
