7 early stage startups to watch in 2014
Peak
TNW got in touch with Peak Director Marshall Haas.
What is Peak and who’s it for?
“Peak is an automated way to keep track of what everyone is working on. It’s aimed at growing companies that feel out of touch with who’s working on what. As your headcount grows, it becomes harder to keep track of what’s happening day to day.”
How is it different to your competitors?
“There are many apps that aim to help you keep up with your team. The difference with Peak is we do it without ever requiring users to input, upload, or type out anything day to day. Peak figures out what you’re working on by connecting with the services you’re already using. Everything happens automatically. This approach also helps cut down on workplace interruptions. Your team is free to focus on their tasks at hand without having to worry about updating the correct people.”
How big is your team and how have you funded the project so far?
“Peak is a product of MetaLab, which is a bootstrapped company that’s been around for over 7 years. We have a couple other successful products, Flow and Ballpark. My team team consists of 3 backend devs, 1 front-end dev, 1 designer, and myself.”
What stage are you at now with the launch?
“We’re approaching our public launch. We launched privately a few months ago and have sales in the five figure range.”
