<\/h4>\n<\/h4>\nBordeaux-based Azendoo<\/a>\u00a0announced they’d raised a $1.5 Million round of funding last week, building on top of what has been a winding road through the productivity tool landscape. The startup, which raised $1 Million initially to\u00a0build their “get sh!t done” to-do list app, has\u00a0grown to more than 300,000 users in the past 3\u00a0years. Its growth, which has been steadied but arguably stalled, is due in part to the rise of to-do list\u00a0apps like Wunderlist (acquired by Microsoft earlier this year<\/a>) & Slack (which is valued at $2.8 Billion after a $160 Million round of funding<\/a>), both of which offer\u00a0enticing freemium apps to improve inter-team communication & productivity.

\nAzendoo’s plethora of integrations with popular\u00a0services like Evernote, Box, Dropbox, Google & Zapier have\u00a0helped carve out use cases among their users, and Azendoo seems to be narrowing in on how it can help marketing departments – it currently has an unnamed number of teams from 80 different countries paying to use Azendoo.
\nWith the new funding, Azendoo will seek to grow to 1 Million users,\u00a0bolstered primarily off of\u00a0its launch of Task Pilot<\/a> earlier this year. Task Pilot integrates communication with Azendoo’s to-do list app, and seems to target small teams working on specific projects.
\nThough I used Azendoo in the past,\u00a0Slack has become a primary tool\u00a0for communication, with its lack of functionality being the most enticing feature (no distractions). As Azendoo looks to secure its position in the growing marketplace, it will be interesting to see if the enterprising communication department, once dominated by Hipchat, Yammer & others, will leave room this time for multiple players, or if, like many enterprise software spaces,\u00a0the lion’s share will be consumed by one player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
