About Us

Ambassador offers a suite of products designed to deliver API developer experiences that fuel innovation. These products, Blackbird API Development Platform, Edge Stack API Gateway, and Telepresence, accelerate development, expedite testing, and optimize the delivery of API resources. Founded in 2014, Ambassador is a remote company backed by top investors, including Insight Partners and Matrix Partners. Our main goals focus on the following:

- Protecting a World-Class Developer Experience: Whether the job is to manage an influx of gateway traffic, test code in a complex microservices environment, or create a collection of APIs for a new service, our tools are designed to simplify and streamline development. We let developers work where and how they want to work and eliminate the pain of collaboration, reviews, and testing.

- Maximizing Development Efficiency: As development demands accelerate, new tools are needed to keep up with the increasing complexity of today’s computing environments. Teams are expected to deliver faster and more frequent releases and manage increasing traffic ‌all while improving quality and reducing risk. We develop our products to cut through typical friction points–easing collaboration and enabling more self-serve experiences to meet devs where they’re at.

- Fixing Friction to Increase Innovation & Reduce Risk: Inconsistent, unknown, or unfollowed processes multiply risk. Nowhere is this more true than in software development, which meanwhile fuels growth and innovation. Companies cannot afford to miss steps that help ensure compliance and consistency, not to mention cost-savings. But even the best guidelines are easily ignored. By empowering developers with the tools they want AND removing the obstacles they don’t, we seek to reduce the margin for error.
