Dropbase Inc. is a software company headquartered in San Francisco, California, founded in 2019 by Jimmy Chan (CEO) and Ayazhan Zhakhan (CTO). The company began as a solution to help users import spreadsheet data into SQL databases, offering a simple drag-and-drop interface to efficiently move, validate, and manage data from CSV or Excel files into databases such as Postgres. This approach addressed a widespread challenge in data handling and database management.
Since its inception, Dropbase has evolved into an AI-driven platform focused on prompt-based application development and automation workflows. The platform aims to reduce the time and technical expertise required for building web applications and automations, particularly targeting operations teams, analysts, and developers. With a lean team of fewer than 25 employees, Dropbase supports small and medium-sized businesses, startups, and technical users, offering subscription-based SaaS products such as Dropbase AI for app building and Dropmail for data-to-SQL workflows.
The company has participated in Y Combinator's Winter 2020 batch and raised $1.75 million in funding from investors including Gradient Ventures and Liquid 2 Ventures. Dropbase operates independently without parent or subsidiary companies and maintains active social media presence primarily on Twitter and LinkedIn, focusing on enabling users to bridge the gap between business needs and sophisticated software development through user-friendly data and automation tools.
