| EqualTo | EqualTo lets developers enhance SaaS products with spreadsheet functionality.The spreadsheet is the most popular programming environment for business. Spreadsheets are used in almost every company to run calculations, define logic and solve problems. But they were not designed to integrate with modern software development processes. In fact, as adeveloper, spreadsheets can be a real pain to work with.We've experienced the challenges of using spreadsheets in software firsthand. In our previous startups we frequently tried to integrate spreadsheet capabilities in SaaS, but found it to be incredibly difficult. The lack of modern, high-performing spreadsheet tech with a great developer experience, ultimately led to us creating our own spreadsheet tooling: EqualTo Sheets.By offering spreadsheet tech that developers love, our mission is to enable closer collaboration between engineering teams and spreadsheet users, which ultimately will lead to better software. | $4.3M | Seed | Jun 10, 2021 |  |
