Wasp

Wasp is a startup offering a simplified approach to developing full-stack web applications, boasting a slogan of "A simple language for developing full-stack web apps with less code." Founded in 2020, the company's primary focus is on the Information Technology, Internet, and SaaS industries. Wasp's key features include a Domain Specific Language (DSL) that allows developers to outline the high-level features, while enabling them to craft the remaining logic using React, Node.js, and Prisma. Moreover, Wasp prides itself on being an open-source, declarative DSL catering to developers seeking to leverage modern web development stacks without engaging in boilerplate coding. The startup's ultimate value proposition is the unification of frontend, backend, and deployment through a single, concise language, while also guaranteeing zero configuration and adherence to best practices. The company recently secured a $1.50 million Seed Round investment on October 4, 2021, with participation from notable investors such as HV Capital, Lunar Ventures, Tokyo Black, 468 Capital, Abstraction Capital, Chris Schagen, Preetha Parthasarathy, and Acequia Capital (AceCap).
