History

  • The company created StorageRoom, a first version of the product, in 2011 [1]

  • The company received an undisclosed amount of funding from Balderton Capital and Point Nine Capital in June 2013 [3]

  • A beta version of Contentful was released on June 26, 2013 as the successor to StorageRoom. [4]

  • On this day an Advisory Board was also announced. [4]

  • Adam Wiggins, co-founder of Heroku, joined the Advisory Board in May 2014. [5]

How it Works

Editors manage content in a web-based editing interface.

[6] Developers load the content through the global Content Delivery API into custom presentation layers on any platform (native mobile and tablet apps, connected vehicles, smart-watches or regular websites).

Pricing Model

Contentful is a SaaS company which earns its revenues by following a freemium model.

Users have limited access to the service free of charge until they hit limits, after which they must pay monthly for extra access.
