Postman Key Facts
- Postman has made strategic acquisitions in the past few years including Akita in 2023 and Orbit in 2024. With the Akita acquisition, Postman was able to add automated eBPF-based API discovery and API monitoring capabilities to the Postman API Platform which they believe will help engineering teams better understand the API-based software they've built. Orbit's stated mission is to help leading developer companies grow their communities and now Postman will integrate its technology and deploy its expertise in Postman's API platform. According to Postman's CEO, these acquisitions not only help Postman grow its customer base, but also allow the company to expand its capabilities within the API market.
- Postman has achieved significant growth towards its goal of becoming the world's leading API collaboration platform. As of October 2024, Postman is used by more than 35 million developers and 500,000 organizations including 98% of the Fortune 500. The company has also grown internationally with offices in Bangalore, Tokyo, and San Francisco. Postman has expanded its global footprint as it serves a growing and diverse customer base.
- Postman aims to differentiate itself in the API market by offering a comprehensive platform that combines API development, LLM integration and workflow automation in a user-friendly platform. Postman claims that its unified platform for building, testing and deploying AI agents allows developers to create innovative solutions that leverage the power of APIs and LLMs. Postman also unveiled an API-First AI Agent builder in January 2025, which is a generative AI tool that they state will allow developers to design, build, test, and deploy intelligent agents by integrating large language models, application programming interfaces and workflow. Postman's innovative solution will potentially help the company meet demand for AI agents and position itself as a leader in the API market.
- The API development market is highly competitive with numerous players offering similar features. Notable competitors include LangChain, LlamaIndex, and CrewAI. Postman must continually innovate to maintain market leadership and differentiate itself from competitors.
- In August 2024, the Economic Times reported that Postman made a series of secondary deals at a steep 30-40% discount to its last funding round. This discount underscores the steep decline in value for SaaS firms as revenue multiples have compressed. If Postman's valuation declines further, the company might have trouble raising new funding which could hinder its growth.
- Postman is facing monetization challenges and people familiar with the company's financials have said "some of the monetization of users-which they thought will kick in-has taken longer than expected." The company may be facing trouble converting free users to paid plans.Â
