Postman acquires Fern. Postman, a San Francisco, CA-based API collaboration platform provider, acquired Fern, a NYC-based developer experience company focused on helping businesses ship polished API documentation and production-ready Software Development Kits (SDKs). The acquisition strengthens Postman's commitment to improving how APIs are built, documented, and consumed. The entire Fern team is joining Postman to continue building Fern. The product, brand, and roadmap remain the same, with the same experience assured for customers. Through Postman, Fern will have the opportunity to reach more than 500,000 companies worldwide. Led by Danny Sheridan, co-founder, Fern has built a set of tools for developers consuming APIs. Fern Docs enables teams to create customizable documentation that evolves alongside their API, while supporting modern docs-as-code workflows and enterprise deployment needs. The Fern SDK Generator helps API teams offer idiomatic, production-ready SDKs across nine major programming languages, eliminating the need to manually build and maintain client libraries. Today, more than 200 companies including Square, Auth0, Adobe, Twilio, and ElevenLabs use Fern to drive adoption of their public APIs. Led by Abhinav Asthana, CEO, Postman provides an API collaboration platform to more than 40 million developers and 500,000 organizations. The company streamlines API and AI application development and drive innovation through teamwork by transcending traditional testing and fostering team collaboration across the entire API development lifecycle - from creation to deployment. The company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Bangalore, Boston, New York City, and Tokyo. Postman is privately held, with funding from Battery Ventures, BOND, Coatue, CRV, Insight Partners, and Nexus Venture Partners.

Postman has acquired Fern, a developer experience company specialising in API documentation and SDK generation, though financial terms were not disclosed. The deal aims to enhance Postman's API collaboration platform as companies increasingly treat APIs as products.

More than 200 companies, including Square, Auth0 and Twilio, use its tools. The entire Fern team will join Postman whilst maintaining Fern's existing product, brand and roadmap. Postman's platform serves over 40 million developers and approximately 500,000 organisations worldwide, including 98% of the Fortune 500, providing Fern with significant distribution reach.
