Postearly is a cross-platform software (iOS, Android, Web) for advanced Instagram management and automation, based on artificial intelligence and emulation. It was founded in 2018 by Francisco Ernesto Robles Meran and Bismary Altagracia Guzmán Popoteur.

In addition to Instagram, Postearly's platform allows the scheduling of posts for Facebook and Twitter. However, its most notable functions are the automatic publishing of reels, carousels, and stories with stickers for Instagram.

Initially, it was known under the name of InstaDom, but this had to be changed by request of Instagram, LLC. Postearly is a private company backed by venture capital funds from Boost Acceleration Camp and the Reserve Bank of the Dominican Republic (BanReservas). It also has received seed capital from Banco Popular Dominicano and Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE).

History
With the aim of using it internally for his agency, Robles Interactive Media, Francisco Robles creates a command-line-based tool that allows the scheduling and automatic publishing of posts on Instagram in mid-2017. Something that was not possible at the time.

With Bismary Guzmán as a partner, the first beta of InstaDom was launched to the public in January 2018. It was recognized by Forbes as one of the 30 business promises.

In September 2018, InstaDom received USD$5,000 as seed capital from Banco Popular Dominicano. They manage to invest more in development and create the function to schedule stories with stickers for Instagram, also in that in the same year, InstaDom separates from Robles Interactive Media and launched as an independent company.

At the request of Instagram, LLC in January 2019 InstaDom is forced to change its name and is renamed Postearly, an acronym for the words "post" and "early".

In September 2019, Postearly won the Seedstars Santo Domingo competition. Then, in June 2020, Postearly introduces the possibility of creating chatbots for Instagram, based on artificial intelligence powered by Google.

During 2020 - 2021, Postearly received investment from Boost, a Dominican accelerator allied with Startups. In the same period, it managed to expand its functions and integrate Facebook and Twitter into its publishing platform, as well as an automatic generator of hashtags and a calculator of the best times to post based on artificial intelligence.

Postearly receives investment from the Reserve Bank of the Dominican Republic and manages to reach the figure of more than 230 thousand users in January 2022.

In February 2022, Postearly introduces the scheduling of Instagram Reels with automatic publication.
