AchieveIt Completes Exclusive Atlanta Venture Fund Program
AchieveIt Graduates from Program Led by Engage Ventures, The Strategic Group of Influential Atlanta-based Corporations
ATLANTA, Nov. 27 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AchieveIt Online, LLC, a leading provider of cloud-based enterprise software for planning and execution, today announced it has completed the Engage Ventures 2018 go-to-market growth program. Engage is the largest strategic grouping of major corporations in an independent venture fund.
Engage's mission is to provide talented entrepreneurs with access to capital, customers, and distribution channels through its corporate partnerships, with a focus on helping companies gain access to enterprise-level opportunities.
"Anytime the most prominent Atlanta companies can come together to support smaller, innovative companies like ours to create value, it's a win for the entire community," said Christy Johnson, CEO, AchieveIt. "This program not only provided invaluable learnings on how large enterprises buy and what they value, but it also gave us unprecedented insights from their senior executives. We benefited greatly from the experience."
The 13 partners supporting Engage include: AT&T; Chick-fil-A; Cox Enterprises; Delta Air Lines; Georgia-Pacific; Georgia Power Foundation Inc.; Georgia Tech; The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.; The Intercontinental Exchange (ICE); Invesco Ltd.; The Home Depot; Tech Square Ventures; and UPS. Invest Georgia has also joined the fund, which is managed by Tech Square Ventures.
"AchieveIt was a great fit for Engage. While the Engage corporate partners span many markets and verticals, the pains and complexity of managing strategic plans and initiatives are felt by all large organizations," said Thiago Olson, Managing Director of Engage Ventures. "AchieveIt is changing how companies execute and manage initiatives by increasing visibility across multiple strategic plans. At Engage, we are excited to be a part of their journey."
AchieveIt's cloud-based platform helps companies manage a portfolio of plans and their outcomes. Built-in accountability and update automation make reporting more efficient and accurate, and the system's 360° cross-plan visibility provides better insight into how initiatives work together to impact the organization at an enterprise level. The company was recognized this year on Inc. 5000's list of fastest growing private companies for the second year in a row, with three-year growth revenue of 204 percent.
