History

Unqork was founded in 2017 by CEO Gary Hoberman, who was formerly the CIO of insurance company Metlife. [2]

In February 2020, the company completed a series B funding round of $131M. [3] In March, the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications used the Unqork platform to build a digital portal that would allow free meals to be delivered to New York City residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. [4] In August, Crain's New York Business reported that the company was one of New York City's fastest growing startups. [5] In October, Unqork announced that it had raised an additional $207 million in a Series C funding round led by accounts managed by BlackRock, Inc., bringing the company's valuation to more than $2 billion. [2]

In May 2021, Chicago's Department of Housing, in partnership with the Resurrection Project, used the Unqork platform to distribute rent relief funds to Chicago residents. [6] That same month, a Forrester report on low-code platforms dubbed Unqork "rookie of the year", [7] though the company differentiates no-code from low-code. [8] In a July report, research firm HFS Research reported that the company's customers included Goldman Sachs, Liberty Mutual, and the Cities of New York, Chicago and Washington DC. [9]

Unqork ranked number 5 on Fast Company's Most Innovative Enterprise Tech Companies of 2022. [10] That same year, the company also ranked among America's Best Startups by Forbes. [11]

Platform and services

Unqork's no-code platform allows users to design applications and other digital solutions through an entirely visual interface. [1] Software is designed by configuring reusable visual components representing end-user-facing elements and application logic. [12]

The company's software includes a marketplace featuring pre-built apps and third-party consultancy services, including integrations with software including SendGrid, Twilio, and DocuSign. [13] Unqork 2021.5 adds new software development life cycle (SDLC) features, such as API auto-documentation, data model auto-documentation, and application rollback. [14] [15]
