PeachWeb

✍️ Notes from the Editors

It’s hard to express how impressive the PeachWeb landing page is without visiting it yourself. It’s even more impressive when you realize you can build it without a single line of code.

AI might be at the forefront of the news, but the reality is that while “vibe coding” and AI-assisted programming get all the attention, the no-code movement is still growing, and growing quickly. So it’s safe to say we’re excited to follow PeachWeb’s journey!

Final call: we’ll be in SF for a seed+ founder dinner on Thursday, May 8. If you (or someone awesome you know) has raised and wants to meet some fellow founders at a small, <20-person dinner, RSVP.

👫 Founder Story

Lucas Poelman and Grega Trobec, co-founders of PeachWeb, both come from design backgrounds. The pair met in college and began working together over a decade ago. Prior to PeachWeb, they were working on a web design agency where they took on clients and built websites and designs for them.

In 2021, the pair dove deep into a web API called WebGL (Web Graphics Library), which made it easier to render 3D components, and they found that they had an easier time building 3D websites than they had prior. The founding duo were quickly fascinated by how much easier it was to render and ship 3D websites through code, and they immersed themselves in WebGL and 3D websites. With the new and growing space of 3D websites, they realized the lack of accessibility for non-technical users, especially designers. In addition, they noticed that nicer websites tended to be reserved for bigger, Fortune 500-type companies. They soon began drawing parallels to Webflow and the idea for PeachWeb was born.

🔮 Our Analysis

3D websites are an emerging and exciting trend. As immersive experiences with visual appeal and interactive engagement, 3D websites are poised to revolutionize online websites. WebGL, a pivotal API that made 3D websites easier to implement, was introduced in 2011. By 2024, the 3D web design service market was estimated at about $3 billion in 2024 and estimated to reach about $8 billion by 2032. 

With a burgeoning market and high demand for visually captivating websites, a critical barrier to entry is often the deep expertise needed to build 3D websites. Given how new and growing this space (and technology) is, a stunning website often requires knowledge of code, 3D rendering, and animation frameworks—a rare skill set. 

PeachWeb is on a mission to make world-class 3D websites accessible to anyone, irrespective of coding, design, or animation experience. It has identified its user demographic of designers and design agencies, understanding that they are by definition more creative and artistic than they are technical. As a result, they are focused on the design and visuals of their websites rather than the technical implementation. A good sign is the early adoption for PeachWeb, which has seen very organic usage and has not required large amounts of initial investment on customer acquisition to prove its product-market fit.

PeachWeb has another advantage with its founding team. Both co-founders are not only passionate about the 3D website space, but have been invested in it early on. As a result, they have real subject-matter expertise which gives them an advantage as they build. 

At the same time, as early builders who are genuinely passionate about this space, they remain razor-focused on the present industry but are keeping an eye on the newest developments and trends. AI is one such example. When I spoke with Poelman, I asked him about the possibility of a future where anyone can describe a website and have tools like PeachWeb build a 3D website accordingly. He explained that while AI is all the buzz in startups, the models are not quite at a standalone level for things like building 3D websites. The team remains curious about future innovations while being locked in on the present. And when breakthroughs arrive, PeachWeb will be ready to adopt them.

If one 3D website builder tool is positioned to become the dominant no-code tool, PeachWeb has the early organic traction, a dedicated founding team, and a technically impressive product to do it.
