Project management software startup LiquidPlanner has secured $1 million in angel funding from investors, including the Alliance of Angels, the Bellingham Angel Group and Investor Geoff Entress.
The startup will use these funds to support new sales and marketing initiatives and invest in product development. LiquidPlanner, which we reviewed here, help teams of all sizes manage complex projects and is specifically designed to account for unplanned events and delays in projects. Launched to the enterprise space last year, LiquidPlanner’s software is currently being used by 200 companies from a wide spectrum of industries, from creative agencies, design firms, and IT consultancies to the energy, aviation, and telecommunications sectors.
Competitors in this space include Basecamp, Clarizen, Huddle, and Viewpath.
Looks like we were 5 days too early putting out our review on liquid planner the other day! Oh well, http://www.scom...ct-replacement/
I believe LiquidPLanner is missing some significant opportunities with respect to their value messaging and segmented pricing.
With more and more alternatives in this space . . . are they merely going to be players or leaders?
I’ve used the free version (less than 3 users) and it’s great. Projects, especially in startups, always come out way differently than you expect at the beginning. So you need to be able to adjust and still have a sense for what your timing looks like.
@Scott – Thanks for the praise!
Just for the record and to avoid potential disappointment, LiquidPlanner’s “3 for free” offer was introductory and has been discontinued. We still offer a free 30 day trial of the full product for an unlimited number of users.
How many of these are out there? Every week TC seems to profile one more…
Our company, Synapse Studios, has been using Liquid Planner since fall last year. It has been a great asset during our last two projects (which were really large).
I use XPlanner. What is the value proposition against XPlanner?
Our design firm tried using Liquid Planner – and honestly it was pretty ugly – but not as ugly as Basecamp (to their credit). We’ve had better luck with Projecturf – which as an added bonus has unlimited storage space, easy on the eyes while being intuitive and wickedly inexpensive.
Liquid Planner is a great product for all the idiots (sadly, of which there are many) out there who have no concept of what it really takes to get a project completed.
Love those Gant charts… very, very important!!!
