An epic team with epic ambitions
Apiable is built by developers for developers — shaping the future through new digital connections.
What is Apiable, what do we do, and why is it important?
We first met in the 2000s at Swisscom in Bern, Switzerland, when we joined the API Program as API Product Manager and Technical Lead. We were tasked with bringing new digital products to the market through APIs and were given a squad of talented engineers to build them.
It became apparent that the developer-centric portal that came with our API management solution was inadequate for our challenge. We found out since that many organizations face this same challenge and, like Swisscom, built their own API Portal to ensure their customers and partners would get the right digital experience.
So we thought, why don't we start a company that specialized in building API portals? And so we did...
Fast forward three years, and we've taken the time to build a new API portal down from 9 months to 10 seconds freeing up the API teams to concentrate on making awesome API products that the world needs to become a better and more interesting place to be in!

Work anytime from anywhere
We don't operate strict office hours, but it's good to be in the core meetings, normally around 11:00 CET.
Take care of the planet
Apiable is renting space on planet earth, we need to pay for that and follow sustainable entrepreneurship principles.
We get sh*t done and with quality
When we work, we work. We get the things that need to be done, done and with very high attention to detail and quality that others envy.
We make mistakes
...and we forgive. If you're not making mistakes then you're not trying hard enough. It's more important to learn than stagnate.
Bring your whole self to work
Life is too short to be stuck in a dead-end job, love your work and have fun doing it by bringing your whole self to work.
Receiving & Giving feedback
We must give and receive honest/constructive feedback... and say thank you. It's not personal.
