NocoBase is an independent technology entity founded in 2020 by a small team of entrepreneurs and developers experienced in building multiple companies. The platform originated as a side project during the COVID-19 pandemic with the goal of enabling collaborative no-code and low-code development for internal business applications. From inception, NocoBase focused on creating an extensible, modular, and open-source platform that supports self-hosted deployment for enhanced flexibility and control. The founders emphasized principles such as plugin architecture and open-source distribution to provide users with a customizable toolset adaptable to diverse organizational needs.
NocoBase’s core offering is an open-source, extensible low-code/no-code business application platform designed to empower a broad audience ranging from professional developers to non-technical staff. The platform features visual schema design, role-based access controls, workflow automation, and API-first integrations. Its business model centers on an open-core approach, with the community able to freely use and modify the software while the company provides paid support services and potentially enterprise-grade features. NocoBase targets a varied market including small and medium businesses, IT teams, business analysts, and consultants, and is industry-neutral, serving sectors like manufacturing, HR, logistics, and services.
Despite its growing feature set and rapidly iterated releases, NocoBase remains a small independent entity without disclosed venture capital funding or institutional investors. The company does not publicly list a headquarters address or maintain official social media profiles, relying primarily on its website, blog, GitHub repository, and open-source community forums for product communication and distribution.
