Growth[edit]
Parse experienced rapid growth from its founding in 2011, through its acquisition by Facebook, to the present.
Parse was founded in 2011 by Tikhon Bernstam,[4] Ilya Sukhar, James Yu, and Kevin Lacker, a small group of seasoned Googlers and Y Combinator alums who got together to build a useful set of back-end tools for mobile developers. Parse offered services that help mobile developers store data in the cloud, manage identity log-ins, handle push notifications and run custom code in the cloud.
On November 9, 2011 it raised 5.5M in venture capital funding.[5][6] In 2012, Parse was being used by 20,000 mobile developers and that number was growing at 40% monthly.[7] On Sept 11, 2012 it added the ability to create custom code on the back end.[8]
Fast Company named Parse one of the top 50 most innovative companies of 2013.[9]
Facebook acquired Parse for $85 million in 2013.[10][11][12][13]
In 2014, Parse was reported to power 500,000 mobile apps,[14] including those of Ferrari, The Food Network, and Sesame Street.[15]
