CEO: VLAD MAGDALIN VALUATION: $4 BILLION VISUAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Cofounder and CEO Magdalin aims to “empower people to build code-level things on the web without having to learn how to code.” For now, that means their own websites. Customers include Spanishlanguage broadcaster Univision and accounting giant PWC. Magdalin, a religious refugee from Russia who came to the United States as a child, gets investors like VC powerhouse Accel to sign a “social contract” saying they value the company’s mission and employees over revenue.
