ROWS brings Spreadsheets to the Age of APIs
The first version of what is today Excel was coded in 1979. … Google Sheets was invented in 2006. … They were both invented before the age of APIs and SaaS tools
Torben Schulz, Founder and COO of Rows
Executive Summary
Torben started the company after stints as a consultant in Germany and Brazil, as well as a Master's in the US. Rows turns spreadsheets into a webpage or a web app with a few clicks. It takes spreadsheets to the current age because the two most popular versions are 40+ and 15+ years old at their core.
Every 7th person in the world is a spreadsheet user.
