WireMock, a San Francisco, CA-based API developer productivity platform provider, raised $6.5m in seed funding.
The round was led by Ridge Ventures joined by First Rays Venture Partners and Scribble Ventures alongside several angel investors.
The company intends to use the funds to build out a US go-to-market team as well as its engineering team, and to further develop WireMock Cloud to cover more of the API lifecycle.
Co-founded by Uri Maoz and Tom Akehurst, WireMock has created WireMock Cloud, an API developer productivity platform for developing and testing software in an API-dependent environment. Whether from an OpenAPI specification, by recording API traffic, using an SDK or even created manually, the platform can simulate both third-party and internal APIs quickly, safely and reliably. It can even simulate nonexistent APIs still under development, so that different software teams can keep developing simultaneously, especially in microservice architectures.
WireMock Cloud incorporates the open source solution alongside other developer productivity features, and offers free, team and enterprise tiers. By focusing solely on bottom-up product-led growth, WireMock Cloud has won hundreds of paying customers including Bilt Rewards, OVO Energy, Jumia and ePay, and thousands of signups monthly.
