In 2018, Airtable encountered a new hurdle as it expanded its user base beyond early adopters and into the mainstream enterprise market. Many large organizations were hesitant to adopt Airtable due to concerns about data security, compliance, and integration with existing IT systems. To address these concerns, Airtable's team, led by Howie Liu, invested heavily in developing enterprise-grade security features, obtaining key certifications such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and building integrations with popular enterprise software platforms. Through this effort, Airtable was able to alleviate the concerns of large enterprises and ultimately win over major clients such as Netflix, IBM, and Shopify - paving the way for the company's subsequent explosive growth and eventual rise to unicorn status.
