Company profile
researched Aug 2026Flowdash was a no-code software company that let operations teams build internal tools to manage manual and semi-automated business processes. Its premise was that many business processes cannot be fully automated because they require human judgment, but also need not remain fully manual; Flowdash allowed teams to assemble custom workflow tools that combined automation with human decision points.
The company was founded in 2019, based in San Francisco, and participated in Y Combinator's Winter 2020 batch with Gustaf Alstromer as primary partner. Team size was listed at five. Co-founders Nick Gervasi and Omar Skalli stated the company's mission as enabling everyone to build software, and reported having supported workflow and business-process needs for companies in fintech, healthcare, and HR. In 2022 the Flowdash team was acquired by Notion, and the Flowdash product was shut down on September 30, 2022. Skalli subsequently became Head of Growth Engineering at Notion.
