We analyse, from a corporate finance point of view, the investments made in the development of new web applications. Dashdash closes an €8M round with a group of investors led by Accel Partners. Allows users to create web applications by simply knowing how to use Excel.
Dashdash and the simple way to make applications
Dashdash is a German company founded in 2016 with offices in Berlin and Porto. It allows users to create applications using only spreadsheet skills. Creating a web application usually relies on the coding skills or navigating complex processes of IT departments and agencies. Business managers constantly work with data and applications, but lack the tools to customise and automate them to optimise workflows.
Dashdash is creating a platform that will allow users to create web applications using only their spreadsheet skills. It combines a familiar interface with a sophisticated system that offers powerful functionalities and integrations. However, it removes barriers to entry for users with no programming experience.
With Dashdash, users can write formulas in cells that can be connected to online services and automate their workflows, e.g. marketing campaigns, lead generation activities or dashboards.
