In 2003, after being unable to find a way to elegantly publish his personal website, Anthony Casalena began work on the software that is now the Squarespace Platform. Since its inception, Squarespace has blossomed into a product that powers tens of thousands of sophisticated websites for businesses, bloggers, and professionals worldwide and currently serves billions of hits per month.

We are defined by our insistence on software that provides an unparalleled user experience from a robust core. Every pixel of Squarespace’s software is engineered with the mindset that we want our interfaces to be timeless, creative, and delightful. That mindset, along with our execution, has allowed Squarespace to grow into the profitable business it is today.

In July of 2010, Index Ventures and Accel Partners led a $38.5M minority investment into Squarespace, representing the first outside capital the company raised to date. Squarespace has received recognition from publications such as the Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch, BusinessWeek, the Financial Times, and the Washington Post. It has grown to 46 employees, and is headquartered in downtown Manhattan.
