Our visual collaboration suite is a critical element in the future of work, and we're excited for the opportunity ahead as visual collaboration becomes an even more important part of how teams in every department, and across every industry, get work done."

Since its launch, Lucidspark has amassed more than one million users, and is quickly becoming a staple in companies across a broad array of industries, including customers like Amazon, Sonos, Jaguar Land Rover and Hubspot.

"Lucid's whiteboarding and diagramming capabilities are unrivaled. The ability to simply ideate, design, and communicate the most complex processes while collaborating in real time fundamentally transforms the way that modern organizations work." said Deepak Ravichandran, general partner at Alkeon Capital. "Their impressive growth over the past year is a testament to their category leadership in the broader collaboration space, and we're excited to work with the Lucid team through the next phase of their journey."
