Project management company Viewpath raises $2.3M, names new CEO in push to expand business
Summary
Seattle-based project management technology company Viewpath announced $2.3 million in seed funding Tuesday morning and named a new CEO, longtime sales and marketing executive Natalie Steck, recharging and regrouping in an attempt to make a bigger push into the fast-growing project management market more than a decade after the company was founded. WestRiver Group managing partner Anthony Bontrager, who previously led companies including OneCast and Broadstream Communications, is now Viewpath’s chairman. Most recently senior vice president of global sales and marketing for Seattle-based Qorus Software, she is a qualified personal trainer, nutritional therapy practitioner and amateur body-builder in her spare time. Viewpath, which currently has five employees, is competing against larger companies including San Francisco-based Asana and Seattle-area rivals such as LiquidPlanner and Smartsheet, which recently completed a $150 million initial public offering. Whereas solutions such as Smartsheet have done a good job appealing to “the accidental project manager,” looking for an alternative to a spreadsheet, Viewpath’s technology offers more functionality in areas such as GANTT charts, and resource and capacity planning, Steck said.
