LiquidPlanner builds an online project management platform used by enterprises such as GE Aviation and Daimler Trucks North America. The company is focused on continuing product feature development and building out sales and marketing. It raised an additional $2 million from existing investors including TVC Capital and angel Geoff Entress to support those investments. LiquidPlanner is a 65-person company that increased revenue by 40 percent in 2015. The company has raised $13.5 million to date, including an $8 million round in May 2014. Founded in 2006, Liz Pearce has served as CEO since 2012. LiquidPlanner provides a priority-based, predictive online project management solution that uses best-case/worst-case estimation and priority order (rather than fixed dates) to generate realistic schedules. The platform automatically recalculates schedules as priorities shift or new work is added, dynamically load-balancing resources across a portfolio. It also offers a unified, collaborative online workspace for time tracking, document sharing and project communications. The company serves over 2,000 companies in more than 60 countries, with customers including HTC, LeapFrog, Nordstrom and RingCentral. Founded in 2007 and led by CEO Liz Pearce, LiquidPlanner is based in Seattle, WA. The company plans to use the new funding to expand sales and marketing and to further invest in product development, engineering and operations. LiquidPlanner provides project-management software designed to help teams of all sizes manage complex projects while accounting for unplanned events and delays. The company launched to the enterprise space last year and its software is currently being used by 200 companies across industries including creative agencies, design firms, IT consultancies, energy, aviation, and telecommunications. LiquidPlanner will use the new funding to support sales and marketing initiatives and to invest in product development. The product competes with offerings such as Basecamp, Clarizen, Huddle, and Viewpath. The articles describe the company as focused on improving planning accuracy for teams facing uncertainty and shifting timelines. LiquidPlanner is a project-management platform built to handle uncertainty by using time-range estimates and visualizing overlapping ranges as "Uncertainty Gantts." It asks team members for range estimates instead of single-point deadlines and highlights extended estimates in red so managers can intervene. The product is designed as a social, personalized project-management application and supports attachments and email notifications. LiquidPlanner offers a freemium model (free for up to three people) and charges $35 per month per paid member or $300 per year, with paying subscribers receiving 50GB of storage. The company launched commercially after a private beta and had attracted over 10,000 users since the beta began the prior January. LiquidPlanner is based in Bellevue, Washington, and was founded in March 2006. Financially, it raised $1.2 million in January 2008 from Seattle angel investors, with the founders contributing more than half the round.
