Fastn, a no-code platform, has snapped $2.6 million in seed funding. The round was led by LiveOak Ventures and Antler, which backed Sloyd and Cedar. It also saw support from backing from notable investors, including Netlify Co-Founder and MACH Alliance executive board member Chris Bach and Loop Co-Founder Kyle Hency.
The investment will help Fastn open for public access and is inviting developers to start building. In the coming months, the company will expand its platform with enhanced AI agent capabilities, empowering users to orchestrate multiple APIs with AI-driven automation.
“Each era of application architecture has required a new platform to integrate between components,” said Creighton Hicks, partner at LiveOak Ventures. “Composable – or headless – architecture is rapidly gaining mindshare, yet enterprises struggle to adopt it and rely on custom code to connect components. Fastn is uniquely positioned to be this new platform, enabling enterprises to easily adopt composable architecture.”
Prerna Sharma, general partner at Antler, commented, “Fastn is now positioned to build the defining solution that will change the way engineers compose workflows and orchestrate real-time data, surpassing existing traditional iPaaS solutions.”
What role does the company play?
The evolution of enterprise IT began with monolithic systems (pre-2000s), where TIBCO led in data integration. While these systems were powerful, they struggled with scalability and adaptability as business demands grew.
Today, composable architecture (late 2010s to early 2020s) is being transformed by this company. It redefines how enterprises approach software application development with its innovative composable architecture platform. This no-code platform allows anyone to integrate and orchestrate multiple, composable architecture that is being transformed by Fastn.
Leveraging AI, Fastn simplifies the process of composing and connecting modular components, focusing on reusability, adaptability, and observability. Instead of custom-building applications from scratch, businesses can now rapidly compose and connect existing solutions, break down silos, and streamline their technology stacks.
The no-code/low-code platform makes complex integrations straightforward, enabling organisations to innovate and adapt with unprecedented speed. The ability to orchestrate different data sources together allows the company to address real-time data accuracy, which recent research has shown is, alongside data security, one of the top two most important factors for computer users.
“Fastn is redefining application development for the modern enterprise,” said Khalid Muaydh, founder and CEO at Fastn. “Our platform transforms the way businesses create and integrate composable applications, offering a flexible and efficient approach. We’re leading the charge in composable architecture, driving the future of enterprise software.”
Ropes in HP as a customer
HP, a Fortune 100 company, has adopted Fastn’s composable platform to enhance its composable application development process.
“Fastn has enabled us to connect our APIs with our customers’ applications and infrastructure, drastically reducing our time-to-market. With Fastn, what used to take weeks and months now takes hours and days” said Gaurav Roy, VP of Engineering at HP. “Leveraging Fastn, we’ve eliminated development bottlenecks and significantly expanded the customer environments we address, connected disparate systems more efficiently, and significantly the scale our application can handle. By white-labeling aspects of Fastn within our UI, we’ve empowered our customers with guided, self-serve capabilities, allowing us to meet their evolving needs.Backed by robust security and SOC-2, Fastn provides enterprise-grade assurance that HP requires to scale securely.”
