Mendix is a low-code application development platform that provides tools for organizations to build web and mobile applications. Mendix was founded in 2005 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.[1][2]

Mendix's US headquarters are located in Boston.[3][4]

In 2018, Mendix was acquired by Siemens.[5][6]

History[edit]

Mendix was founded in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, by Roald Kruit, Derek Roos, and Derckjan Kruit.

Roald Kruit, a freelance software developer at the time, noticed a communication disconnect between software developers and end users, which often led to dissatisfaction with the developed applications. Using a visual development language, Mendix’s founders wanted to create a platform that would enable better collaboration and understanding between developers and business users.[7][8]

In October 2011, Mendix raised $13 million with its first round of venture capital funding.[9]

In August 2018, the company's co-founder and CEO announced its acquisition by Siemens or $730 million in cash.[10] The deal was finalized later that year.

In February 2024, Raymond Kok was appointed Mendix's new CEO.[11]

Platform Features[edit]

Mendix offers a range of features tailored to support the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). It has a visual model-driven integrated developer environment (IDE) with tools for businesses to build, test, iterate, and deploy applications.[12][13][14]

In 2016-2023, Gartner named Mendix one of the leaders in its Magic Quadrant report for Enterprise Low-code Application Platforms (LCAP).[15] In 2023, Forrester named Mendix one of the leaders in "The Forrester Wave™: Low-Code Development Platforms for Professional Developers, Q2 2023" report.[16]

Mendix has partnered with other technology providers Red Hat[17][18] and AWS[19][20].

In 2014, Mendix introduced a free community edition of the platform.[21]
