Draftbit, Inc.

Draftbit, Inc. is a technology startup founded in 2018 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The company was established with the goal of democratizing mobile app development by simplifying and accelerating the process of creating native mobile applications. Its founders identified the high complexity and cost barriers usually associated with native app development and sought to provide a visual development platform that combines ease of use with the ability to export clean source code, catering to both technical and non-technical users.

The company's primary offering is a subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform featuring a drag-and-drop visual app builder, robust integrations with APIs such as REST and GraphQL, and flexible customization options. This platform enables entrepreneurs, designers, product managers, developers, and businesses of various sizes—from startups to enterprises—to build, customize, and launch mobile applications directly from their web browsers. Draftbit also operates an ecosystem component marketplace called Bits & Blocks within its platform. Draftbit participated in the Y Combinator Winter 2018 cohort, which provided early-stage mentorship and access to an extensive network of investors and innovators. The company remains independent, has raised under $5 million primarily during its seed stage, and maintains a focused product lineup without subsidiaries.
