History

edit

AppFolio was established in 2006 by co-founders Klaus Schauser[3] and Jon Walker.[4][5] Schauser had previously founded Expertcity.[4]

The company's first focus was property management for small to medium businesses[4] and its first product, AppFolio Property Manager, was launched in 2007.[5]

In November 2012, AppFolio acquired MyCase, a "legal practice management software provider."[6]

AppFolio purchased real estate software firm RentLinx in April 2015. This acquisition included rights to the website ShowMeTheRent.com, which increased AppFolio's listing presence.[7][2]

In May 2015, AppFolio announced its IPO,[3] which was unveiled in June.[2]

In September 2018, AppFolio reported acquisition of utility analytics software WegoWise.[8]

In January 2019, AppFolio acquired Dynasty Marketplace, Inc., for $60 million.[9][10]

In September 2020, AppFolio announced the sale of MyCase to private equity firm Apax Funds, for approximately $193 million.[11]
