Forest Admin
Past and future
Their story
Forest Admin is the brainchild of our CEO, Sandro, who as a freelance developer earlier in his career developed more back-office interfaces than he cared to count. The idea came about in 2015 while an entrepreneur in residence at the startup studio eFounders (now Hexa). Sandro had a vision of a product that could facilitate the lives of developers by offering ready-made but customizable back-office interfaces (see demos here!). He was soon joined by Arnaud, our CTO and the project spun-off from the startup studio at the end of 2017 with a $3M seed round raised from Kima Ventures, Connect Ventures and eFounders and in 2019 a $7M Series A raised led by Notion Capital and Runa Capital.
