The core of Quip provides word processing and spreadsheet functionality, accessible via the Web, an iOS app, and an Android app. In January 2017, Quip acquired the designer studio Unity & Variety. In July 2016, Salesforce announced the acquisition of Quip for an estimated total of $750 million.

In 2015, Quip announced it had received a $30 million funding round led by Greylock Partners. The app was well-received, winning accolades as one of the best apps of the year from Time, The Next Web, and The Guardian. Roughly a year later, Quip was launched to the public as a mobile-centric tool for creating shared notes, lists, and documents.

Taylor founded the company in 2012, after leaving his position at Facebook. Quip was founded by Bret Taylor, a co-creator of Google Maps, CEO of FriendFeed, and the former CTO of Facebook, along with Kevin Gibbs, who founded Google App Engine.
