What they do

Problem

Building and maintaining custom backend APIs, workflows, and data layers is slow and resource-intensive for teams without extensive backend engineering capacity.

Solution

Fastgen provides a low-code drag-and-drop platform to build APIs and workflows with an integrated Postgres database for CRUD operations.

Who it's for

Developers and product teams at startups and SMBs who need to quickly create backend services for applications.

Constantin Schreiber
Founder

Dropped out of college to build Blair (YC S19) where we raised a +100M to build income-based financing solutions for students in the US. At Blair, I led the engineering team to build audit-proof software that moved millions of dollars in student funds on a weekly basis. Two fun facts about me: I built autonomous drones for Porsche and was mining crypto to pay for college (and other things).
