Duda

What Duda does

Duda is a private, venture-backed website builder platform founded in 2008 by Itai Sadan (CEO) and Amir Glatt (CTO), headquartered in Palo Alto with R&D in Tel Aviv and additional offices in Colorado, the United Kingdom, and Brazil. The company provides an AI-ready, white-label responsive website builder aimed at digital marketing agencies, SaaS platforms, hosting companies, and point-of-sale providers, enabling them to create, manage, and resell websites to SMB end customers. Its technology stack runs on AWS and centers on a drag-and-drop editor augmented by an AI Stack (Duda Copilot, AI Widget Builder, MCP server integration, and Answer Engine Optimization tools), a full REST API, native eCommerce (Snipcart acquisition plus Stripe payments), Cal.com-powered bookings, client management, team collaboration, client billing, and an App Store marketplace. Duda reports 14+ million sites built, 20,000+ agency and SaaS platform partners, 100M+ monthly visits, and a $100 million total capital raised across disclosed rounds.

The company monetizes primarily through SaaS subscriptions (monthly and annual White Label and Enterprise tiers with a 14-day free trial and 30-day money-back guarantee), transaction fees on native eCommerce payment processing handled by Stripe, add-on services (App Store applications, client billing facilitation, bookings), and an affiliate program paying up to $300 per conversion via the Impact platform. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (self-serve signup, no-credit-card trial) with enterprise field sales (dedicated account and technical account managers for white-label partners and SaaS platforms) and channel partners (affiliates and content creators). The company has raised a disclosed $100 million total, led most recently by Claridge IL's $50 million Series D in June 2021, and completed one acquisition (Snipcart, September 2021) to add eCommerce capabilities.
