Mavenlink is an Irvine, CA-based software-as-a-service company that provides software and services for advanced project management, task collaboration, resource allocation, work management and professional services automation.
History[edit]
Mavenlink was founded in 2008 by Ray Grainger, Roger Neel and Sean Crafts,[2] who had previously worked at InQuira together. With the growth of cloud computing, the three saw an opportunity for small and medium-sized businesses to leverage enterprise software applications for managing projects and conducting business online, and to access a wide network of consultants and service providers.[3]
The name Mavenlink was partially inspired by the concept of “Mavens,” an information specialist personality type described in The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell.[4]
In April 2009, the first Mavenlink software platform was released in beta and in January 2010 it was made generally available to the public.[3]
In June 2010, Mavenlink was integrated with Google Apps,[5] and in January 2011, the software was integrated with Intuit's Quickbooks software.[6][7]
By February 2011, the company reported approximately 200,000 subscribers to the Mavenlink software.[8]
In July 2017, the company opened its first European office in London, and reported 2,000 customers in 100 countries.[1]
Funding history[edit]
In February 2009, Mavenlink secured $1 million in investment capital during its Angel round of funding, which was led by current and former Accenture partners. In November 2011, Mavenlink secured $3.9 million from Quest Software, Inc. and Madden Capital Partners, LLC., and in January 2012, the company received an additional $3 million from Quest Software, Inc. and Madden Capital Partners, LLC.[8][9][10] In December 2013, Mavenlink received an institutional investment from Carrick Capital Partners in the amount of $7 million.[11][12][13] In February 2015, the company announced a $19 million funding round led by San Francisco-based Carrick Capital Partners LP and Silicon Valley Bank in Santa Clara.[14] In November 2016, the company announced a Series D funding round of $39 million from Goldman Sachs.[15]
