Why the future is bright at productboard

Want to work for a tech startup that’s heading for the stars? Then read on… 

We are excited to kick off 2020 with some exciting news. This week, we raised an additional $45 million of Series B funding to further the vision of our company — to help product managers, teams, and organizations make products that matter, together. The lead investor is Sequoia Capital, with participation by Bessemer Venture Partners, joined by existing investors Kleiner Perkins, Index Ventures, Credo Ventures, Rockaway Capital, and Reflex Capital. The new round brings our total funding to date to $65 million.

For context, Sequoia was an early investor in Apple, Google, Cisco, Airbnb, and countless other tech companies that have gone on to change the world. Bessemer’s partnerships include Pinterest, LinkedIn, Shopify, and Yelp. As you can imagine, we are thrilled and honored to be included among the likes of these tech titans!

So, why do the world’s top VC firms choose productboard? It’s simple: productboard delivers a dedicated, end-to-end product management system. Our solution, tailor-made to the diverse needs of product organizations, is the first of its kind. And it will change how companies are run even more than CRMs did. 

Build products that matter, together

At productboard, we all work towards an inspiring mission: to help organizations make products that matter, together. Our vision is one of a world full of amazing products that both function and delight. 

Why? Because we believe that everyone deserves to work on products that people will use, enjoy, and love — products that are truly excellent. Life is simply too short to work on features that go unused and products that fail. And with the accelerated pace of the market and the competitive business landscape we are seeing today, building excellent products that cater to real user needs is no longer negotiable.

Helping product teams achieve excellence drives everything we do here at productboard. It informs how we interact with our customers at every touchpoint, determines the features we choose to build next, and shapes how our product and company will evolve into the future.

Because when our customers succeed, we all succeed.

productboard is growing, fast 

This time last year, there were 46 productboard employees. Today, there are 116. And we are just beginning! Over the coming year, fuelled by our new investment, we aim to expand our team globally. We are looking for talent in every function, from product and engineering to customer success and marketing. So, if you are looking for an exciting new gig at a growing, international tech company, we’d love to hear from you.

We have headquarters in Prague, where we are at the forefront of an exciting and growing technology scene, as well as San Francisco, ground zero for global tech culture and innovation. We host annual retreats for the entire company (so far they have taken place in different European cities!) so you have a chance to travel and bond with all your teammates at least once a year.
