About the Company

Smartsheet

Smartsheet builds cloud software for teams that plan projects, coordinate operations, and track work across an organization. Its spreadsheet-style workspaces combine task records with reports and dashboards, while teams switch between table, board, calendar, and project timeline views. Users collect information through forms, set rules for reminders and approvals, and connect their work to tools such as Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and Slack without building a separate application. The company sells subscriptions with paid member seats and enterprise plans, plus optional products for more complex workflows. Smartsheet was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, United States.
