About

APIs underpin the internet but are still painful to work with. They are often untyped, unstandardized, and out-of-sync across multiple sources of truth. Fern helps companies deliver SDKs and API documentation that they’re are proud to share with their customers. Since launching in 2023, we’ve been trusted by over 200 customers, including industry leaders like Square, Webflow, ElevenLabs, Auth0, and Intercom, to power their developer and agent experiences. We’re fewer than 40 people, based in Brooklyn, NY, and are building open source.

Hey- I'm a co-founder and CEO at Fern. We help companies offer SDKs and API Docs they're proud to share with their customers. In my previous role at AWS, I saw how code generation for APIs saved engineering time and offered a best-in-class developer experience. I'm a people person who is happiest at work when collaborating in person or when hearing customer feedback first-hand.

Auto-generate your client libraries, API reference, and server code

Fern productizes schema-first API design by generating SDKs in multiple languages, API docs, a Postman collection, and server-side validation from an API schema or OpenAPI spec. It also registers all API versions in a registry for consistent consumption. The launch highlights the tool’s artifacts for developers and teams building or consuming APIs.
