Making an impact At Appfire, corporate social responsibility is driven by team members, family, friends, customers, and partners through Appfire Town. This program brings people together to generate a strong social impact in our local and global communities.

Our CEO believes being philanthropic is integral to operating our business and is not merely the result of our success. In 2015, Appfire joined the Pledge 1% network of organizations committed to philanthropy. Appfire has since grown our Pledge 1% program to include all four pledge types — product, profit, equity, and employee time. We were among the first to do this, and we're proud that Pledge 1% is part of our evolution.

Our business Appfire has been profitable since its inception, with best-in-class free cash flow margins relative to the broader SaaS universe. The company's mission to equip and connect every team so they can plan and deliver their best work has proven successful, producing consistent year-over-year (YoY) growth – with Appfire growing from $10M ARR in 2019 to $200M ARR in 2023.

What's our secret sauce?

We follow teams. We do our research and build software that solves real-life collaboration challenges while being easy to implement and a joy to use. We're proud to support over 20,000 customers and growing, including 55% of the Fortune 500. From the entertainment delivered by Netflix to the devices crafted by Samsung, and Dell Technologies and the financial transactions handled by Visa, Edward Jones, and US Bank, Appfire's technology is indispensable. Our products also play a pivotal role in streamlining operations and fostering innovation at companies like Tesla and significant institutions such as NASA, Boeing, and many more. We enhance. We don't compete. Our software is designed to give developers, knowledge workers, and teams the ability to extend and get greater value from the platforms they've invested in and enjoy. So far, our solutions extend and enhance the capabilities offered by Atlassian, Microsoft, monday.com, and Salesforce. We build bridges and invest in our partners. Appfire's success is underscored by the fact that the company has no direct sales team and instead leverages its channel program as its primary path to market. Today, Appfire has a dedicated Channel team supporting 700+ channel partners. We make security and privacy a priority, but we also keep it simple for our customers. We've achieved International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 and ISO 27017 and System and Organization Controls (SOC) SOC 2, Type I and SOC 2, Type II certifications. In 2022, we launched our award-winning Appfire Trust Center, offering our customers, partners, and prospects the latest security, privacy, and compliance information, including pre-completed questionnaires (CAIQ, SIG, and VSA) with an accelerated NDA process and just one EULA to cover it all.
