Clubhouse announces new collaboration tool and free version of its project management platform

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
taking another big step toward its goal of democratizing efficient software development.Traditionally, legacy project management programs in
software development can often appear like an engineer feeding frenzy around a clunky stack of to-dos
Engineers have limited clarity into the work being done by other members of their team or into project tasks that fall outside of their own
silo.Clubhouse has long been focused on easing the headaches of software development workflows by providing full visibility into the status
of specific tasks, the work being done by all team members across a project, as well as higher-level project plans and goals
Clubhouse also offers easy integration with other development tools as well as its own API to better support the cross-functionality a new
user may want.Today, Clubhouse released a free version of its project management platform that offers teams of up to 10 people unlimited
engineer-focused collaboration and documentation tool later this year, which will be fully integrated with the Clubhouse project management
product
collaborate, organize and comment on project documentation in real time, enabling further inter-team communication and a more open
development process for more people, ultimately making it easier for anyone to start dynamic and distributed software teams and ideate on
will provide key competitive positioning against larger incumbents in the software project management space
designed its two products to have tighter integration than the legacy platforms, and since Clubhouse is essentially providing free versions
of what many are already paying for to date.And while Atlassian is far from the only competitor in the cluttered project management space,
few if any competing platforms are offering a full project tool kit for free, according to the company
Clubhouse is also encouraged by the strong support it has received from the engineering community to date
the platform before hiring any sales reps, and users of the platform already include Nubank, Dataiku and Atrium, amongst thousands of
others.Clubhouse has ambitious plans to further expand its footprint, having raised $16 million to date through its Series A, according to
Crunchbase, with investments from a long list of Silicon Valley mainstays, including Battery Ventures, Resolute Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, RRE
Ventures, BoxGroup and others.A former CTO himself, Clubhouse co-founder and CEO Kurt Schrader is intimately familiar with the opacity in
product development that frustrates engineers and complicates release schedules
Schrader and Clubhouse CMO Mitch Wainer believe Clubhouse can maintain its organic growth by staying hyperfocused on designing for product
managers and creating simple workflows that keep engineers happy
