  Hive is a productivity software platform that positions itself as a community-built project management and collaboration tool for teams of all sizes. The company runs a public product roadmap where users request and vote on features; the engineering team prioritizes work based on those votes. Hive says two in three users will get a feature they requested built within their first year. One of its community-driven products, Hive Notes, debuted as a standalone collaborative note-taking and task-management app for Zoom Meetings. Customers named in the article include teams at Anthem, Comcast, Electronic Arts and Toyota. Led by co-founder and CEO John Furneaux, the company will use the new funding to continue building the software platform. Hive provides a real-time productivity platform that includes chat, tasks, email, notes and analytics for senior managers. Led by CEO and cofounder John Furneaux, the company was launched from accelerator AngelPad. Hive serves customers including Starbucks, Google, WeWork, Uber and the United States Government. The company plans to add features to automate email management by identifying next steps and assigning tasks, to turn recurring meetings into real-time notes with automatic recaps and next-step assignments, and to auto-suggest project plans from a large library of projects. Hive raised a $10.6m Series A and intends to use the funds to expand operations and its business reach. The round brought total funding to date to $16.7m.
