Calendly

Calendly is a scheduling automation platform, founded in 2013, that removes the back-and-forth of meeting coordination for individuals and teams. Users connect multiple calendars, set availability, and share booking links so invitees can schedule directly into open slots. The company reports more than 20 million users across over 230 countries and more than 100,000 companies using the platform, among them 86% of the Fortune 500.

The product line centres on the Calendly Scheduling Platform, supported by embeddable Scheduling Links, Meeting Workflows that automate scheduling and follow-up across sales, recruiting, customer success and marketing use cases, and integrations with more than 100 tools including Google, Outlook, Salesforce and Slack. The company processes millions of bookings. Technical work spans scheduling automation, calendar integration, workflow automation, web-based SaaS and API and third-party integration.

Calendly was bootstrapped in its early years and reached a $3 billion valuation. The company describes its mission in terms of business outcomes - closing deals faster, hiring top talent and building stronger customer relationships - and places weight on an intuitive, low-friction user experience and on saving teams time in meeting coordination. Its engineering and product work is oriented toward these use cases across sales, recruiting, customer success and marketing.
