Project Management Software for your Team

mckoss — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 18:56:50 -0600

As a benefit to StartPad tenants, we're now offering a 5-seat license to the online project management software provided by Liquid Planner.

We're a big fan on online services, especially for small teams. There's not much point in setting up your own infrastructure for things like email, document management, or project management while startups are trying to be as efficient as possible with their own time.

So we're really excited to have Seattle-based Liquid Planner partnering with us to provide this offer to the tenants of StartPad. So, whether you're a "day desker" or have a suite of offices here, you can now get your team together on the same page using this really powerful online scheduling and task management system.

Bruce Henry announced our partnership at the October 2008 Countdown lecture. See his 5 minute demo of Liquid Planner.
