Oct 15, 2015, Quip raises $30M in Series B financing.

In the video below, I talk about some of Quip's key features, highlighting how they combine content creation and conversations into a single user experience.

 

Earlier this year I named Quip one of my Constellation Research Rising Stars

 

Competing Against Industry Giants and Popular Startups

Because Quip combines content creation and collaboration, they span several of today's common market categories. Depending on your organization's needs, they could compete against:

  • Traditional document tools in Microsoft Office 365 or Google Apps for Work (Google Docs)
  • Note taking tools like Evernote, Microsoft OneNote, BoxNotes, Mammoth
  • Group chat tools like Slack, Glip, Ryver, HipChat

 

What Comes Next?

Now that Quip has secured an additional $30M, there are several areas I hope to see improved as they continue to try and evolve the way people work together. They have created an interesting foundation for content creation and collaboration, and I look forward to following their next steps. If your organization is using Quip, I'd love to hear if/how it's changing the way your teams work.
