About Bubble
Bubble is a revolutionary no-code platform enabling anyone to build, design, and launch fully functional web applications without writing code. Founded in 2012 and serving over 3 million users globally, Bubble has powered the creation of more than 4 million applications ranging from marketplaces and social networks to SaaS products and internal tools. The platform provides a visual programming interface where users drag and drop elements, define workflows with logic, and connect to databases - all through an intuitive point-and-click interface. Bubble applications are full-stack, production-ready solutions with responsive design, user authentication, payment processing, API integrations, and database management built-in. The platform has enabled numerous successful startups that have raised millions in funding, with some Bubble apps processing over $1 billion in transactions annually. Users can create complex workflows, conditional logic, and custom business rules without coding, while maintaining the flexibility to add custom code when needed. Bubble includes a visual database builder, responsive design tools, workflow automation, plugin ecosystem with 1,000+ plugins, and built-in hosting with SSL certificates. The platform supports real-time collaboration, version control, and deployment workflows similar to traditional development. Notable success stories include Qoins (raised $3M), Fora (raised $3.2M), and countless other ventures that launched on Bubble before scaling to traditional infrastructure or maintaining Bubble long-term.
