Example of product categories and companies in the API stack Mayfield Much has been written about the rise of the API economy over the past 5+ years, and for good reason. According to a recent survey, nearly 40% of large organizations are using 250+ APIs, and 71% of developers plan to use even more in the coming year. Investors like me are taking note that more than $ 2 billion was invested in API companies in 2020, down from just $ 0.5 million in 2017. And when Stripe's recent $ 600 million in funding USD 95 billion is a sign of the future, there will be much more investment in API companies in 2021. Why are we seeing such a massive adoption? APIs are the "picks and shovels" of our modern digital age. Defacto building blocks and APIs provide the core infrastructure and enable developers to build quickly without having to code everything from scratch. At the risk of taking the analogy too far, APIs are transforming from picks and shovels to bulldoz...
