FlowFuse raises $7.25M Seed Round to bring Node-RED to the Enterprise
Since the [launch of FlowFuse][first-deploy] in April 2021 our goal has been to build a low-code, enterprise-ready development platform based on Node-RED. We wanted to make it easier for enterprises to adopt, integrate, and scale Node-RED into their existing environments. We published our [first version][flowforge-01] at the start of this year and have continued the journey to the [launch of FlowFuse v1.0][flowforge-1] just last week.
