The Convenience Tax

Convenience is no longer a luxury—it’s engineered. And behind every seamless interaction hides an unseen power—APIs

Building a Future of Digital Trust

We believe that the future of technology is built on trust—trust in the systems that connect us, the data that drives us, and the innovations that move us forward. Our mission is to empower enterprises to create seamless, secure, and scalable digital ecosystems where APIs are not just functional, but foundational to progress.

Through the Founder’s Lens

APIs were supposed to make the digital world seamless. Instead, they became a source of frustration—scattered across teams, tangled in complexity, and held together by fragmented tools. With every new API, the sprawl grew—governance lagged, security became reactive, and businesses found themselves losing visibility over their most critical digital assets.

Over a decade of working with industry leaders like Kaiser Permanente, T-Mobile, and Google Apigee, I helped enterprises navigate their API-led transformations. But as API ecosystems expanded, so did the challenges—visibility faded, governance became inconsistent, and teams found themselves reacting to problems rather than staying ahead of them. What should have been a foundation for innovation too often became a bottleneck to progress. It didn’t have to be this way....

I kept asking myself:

  • Why should something so essential feel so complicated?

  • Why were companies forced to rely on a patchwork of disconnected tools when APIs were meant to bring everything together?

And that’s how Apiwiz was born. A platform designed to turn APIs into a trusted foundation for innovation.

We envision a world where APIs are not hidden liabilities but strategic assets—designed, governed, and secured from the start. A world where enterprises don’t react to API sprawl but stay ahead of it, orchestrating their digital ecosystems with confidence.

Because APIs aren’t just the backbone of digital transformation—they’re the foundation of trust in a connected world. We’re here to rebuild that trust—one API at a time, one enterprise at a time.

The values
that drive us

 Innovation with Purpose

We don’t just build tools; we create solutions that anticipate challenges and drive real progress. Our platform is designed to simplify API complexity, so enterprises can innovate without limits.

Partnership Beyond Support

We’re not just a platform—we’re a partner. From implementation to scaling, we support enterprises every step of the way, ensuring they maximize the value of their API ecosystems.

Control Without Constraints

Managing APIs shouldn’t feel like an afterthought. We give enterprises the clarity, consistency, and control they need—without sacrificing agility or speed.

Trust at the Core

APIs power the digital world, but trust keeps it running. We embed security, governance, and reliability into every aspect of the API lifecycle—because trust isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Seamless Integration

We believe in enhancing, not replacing. Apiwiz seamlessly integrates into existing ecosystems, working alongside current investments to bring clarity, control, and trust—without disruption.

Journey

2017 • The Spark

Having experienced fragmented, inefficient API tooling, the idea for APIwiz stemmed from a simple question -- What if API management could be seamless, collaborative, and governed from day one?

2020: APIwiz is Born

After years of surveying the API industry, building and refining the concept through pilot projects, APIwiz was officially found, with an aim to help enterprises build, govern and operate APIs

2021 - APIwiz 1.0

Shortly after inception, the first version of APIwiz is launched -- allowing enterprises to govern APIs from a single management plane, reducing time-to-market while increasing developer productivity and operational control.

2022 – Gaining Momentum

APIwiz raises $2 million in seed funding to accelerate growth. High-profile partnerships and industry accolades follow, further validating its mission to reshape API management at scale.

2023 – Scaling Up & Enterprise Adoption

APIwiz launches v2.0 of its platform with enhanced automation, deeper security controls, and collaborative features tailored for large-scale teams. Wide enterprise adoption in APAC and EMEA across banks, telcos and insurance providers

2024 – APIwiz 3.0

The launch of v3.0 augments APIwiz with an incredibly powerful low-code Workflow builder and API security, allowing teams to build, govern and secure faster! It also paves the way for rapid innovation across AI, eBPF-powered insights and more.
