Our take
With teams increasingly moving to remote work across many industries, companies have been reaching for tools to keep operations smooth and communications open. Founded in 2005, Smartsheet is a cloud-based work management platform helping a vast range of companies, from small businesses to large enterprises, plan, track, and report on work.
Like other team collaboration software companies, such as Lucid and Atlassian, Smartsheet saw strong growth in the early 2020s and achieved 17% year-on-year revenue increases through 2025. If the company can maintain this success, it stands to make real gains in a global team collaboration market expected to be worth about $20 billion by 2028.
Smartsheet has embedded itself across various industries, with deep integrations with applications from the likes of Salesforce, Atlassian, Google, and Microsoft, making it the first work management sector Unicorn to reach $1 billion in recurring annual revenue in 2024. Thanks to its successes, it was bought by Blackstone and Vista Equity Partners for $8.4 billion in 2025 with an eye on further international scaling, leveraging the reach of its new parent companies.
