Gumloop, a startup founded by ex-Microsoft and Amazon engineers, has secured $17 million in a Series A funding round led by Nexus Venture Partners. The company, which originated in a Vancouver bedroom as a side project, aims to simplify task automation for non-technical users with its drag-and-drop workflow builder. With integrations for tools like GitHub and Gmail, Gumloop is already utilized by teams at Instacart and Rippling. The startup plans to maintain a small team of up to 10 while expanding its operations to San Francisco, focusing on delivering a product that resonates with users.
