Hotglue is a B2B SaaS provider of an embedded integration platform that allows software companies to offer integration experiences to their customers. The platform enables developers to embed over 250 pre-built integrations into their applications, providing connectivity across CRM, accounting, and e-commerce tools. Customers range from early-stage startups to established enterprises, including Chargebee and a recently signed publicly traded company. Founded in late 2020 and based in Washington, DC, Hotglue is a Y Combinator alum. The company previously raised $1.5M in a 2021 pre-seed round and recently secured $4M in Seed funding. Hotglue intends to use the new capital to expand its team and further develop its technology to serve its customer base. Hotglue builds embeddable connectors that help developers integrate business applications like Salesforce, QuickBooks and HubSpot, and has created about 250 connectors based on the open-source project Meltano. The product targets engineering teams rather than traditional data-integration customers, offering an embeddable way to access data from business systems. Hotglue was founded by CEO Hassan Syyid and CRO David Molot, who dropped out of the University of Maryland and participated in Y Combinator's Summer 2021 cohort. The company has roughly 15 customers, a similar number in the pipeline, is generating revenue, and reports active user growth of about 50% month-over-month. With the seed investment, Hotglue plans to hire a couple of engineers and continue building the product and go-to-market efforts. The founders have used content marketing and YC learnings to refine the product and customer approach.
