Despite some initial bugs, DryMerge has shown promise in its ability to automate tasks and save users time. The platform faces competition in the rapidly growing integration-platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) market, which is projected to reach $2.7 billion this year. However, DryMerge's focus on ease-of-use could set it apart. The company, which currently has around 2,000 users, was accepted into Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch and recently closed a $2.2 million seed round. The funds will be used to add new app integrations and expand the team.
Key takeaways:
- Software developers Sam Brashears and Edward Frazer have developed DryMerge, a streamlined, easy-to-use app-to-app integration platform that uses a chatbot to build workflows.
- DryMerge allows users to describe an automation they want between apps and handles the necessary technical scaffolding, opening up automation to nontechnical people.
- Despite some bugs, DryMerge has shown promise in automating tasks, such as copying posts from one account to a personal Discord server, saving users time on task switching.
- DryMerge, which currently has around 2,000 users, was accepted into Y Combinator’s Winter 2024 batch and closed a $2.2 million seed round led by Garage Capital. The funds will be used to add new app integrations and double the size of DryMerge’s team in the next few months.
