Bebop
Bebop (bebop.co) was a stealth-mode enterprise software startup founded by Diane Greene, co-founder and former CEO of VMware, building a development platform intended to make it easier to build and maintain enterprise applications. The company never shipped a public product, developer portal, or API, and was acquired by Google on November 19, 2015 for approximately $380 million, at which point Diane Greene was named head of Google's newly consolidated enterprise cloud business (Google for Work, Cloud Platform, and Google Apps). The acquired technology was later folded into Google Hire, which Google shut down in 2019. Bebop is retained in the API Evangelist network as a historical a16z portfolio record; it has no live domain, no public API surface, and no developer artifacts to enrich.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Bebop is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Bebop scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.
Bebop is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
