According to a press release, the company’s product streamlines user processes, saving time. “We founded DryMerge about a year ago with the idea that we could use AI to automate API integrations for developers. In that year, our vision got a whole lot bigger —- we realized that we wanted to automate repetitive work for anyone, not just API integrations for programmers,” Frazer wrote.
According to the press release, the company received funding from Y Combinator, Garage Capital, Goodwater Capital, Ritual Capital, and Breakpoint Capital. They also received angel investment from Umur Cubuku from Citus Data, JJ Fiegelman from Way Up, Kulveer Taggar from Zeus, and Nate Matherson from Positional, among others.
According to Afrotech, initially, the pair was unsure of their venture‘s future. It took them a while to figure out how to build a product that would be useful for a multitude of users.
“…I’m a pretty young founder –- I dropped out of Yale to build the company, and my cofounder Sam had just graduated from the University of Wisconsin,” Frazer wrote on his LinkedIn page. His early confidence in what they were working on might have bordered on arrogance until he adjusted after receiving feedback.
Frazer continued, “I knew very little about how people worked, what problems they had, or how to solve those problems — and importantly, I didn’t care — I figured it’d be enough to build cool technology and watch the users appear out of thin air.”
“Our users include online fashion retailers, school administrators, and asset managers — the vast majority of which have never touched a line of code,” Frazer told TechCrunch. “They use us to save hours a day on tasks ranging from customer support automation to customer relationship management data entry.”
Frazer continued, “We think a gigantic enterprise opportunity is in increasing the simplicity of automation and delivering easy-to-use tooling that empowers nontechnical folks.”
