There has been an announcement today by Vimcal, the calendar app of choice for many founders, executives, and investors within the technology industry, that a $4.5 million fundraise led by Altos Ventures has been completed. As a result of Vimcal's rapid growth and the growing market demand for a cohesive, accurate meeting booking and scheduling platform that keeps up with today's globalized, distributed workforce, this significant investment reflects Vimcal's rapid growth.
The CEO and co-founder of Vimcal, John Li, describes this funding round as a pivotal moment in the company's history: "This funding round marks the beginning of a new era for Vimcal." In our DNA is to solve the scheduling pain point for the busiest individuals with the most hectic schedules, and with this funding, we will be able to expand our services to cater to their entire organization."
As Vimcal embarks on this new chapter of growth, the latest funding is a catalyst for its multiplayer features and enterprise motion as Vimcal embarks on this new chapter of growth. Vimcal continues to provide advanced calendar experiences that transcend traditional scheduling in order to become an indispensable, intelligent assistant to meet the needs of modern professionals, a mission that is being fulfilled through this investment.
One of the key indicators of Vimcal's growth trajectory can be seen in the rapid adoption of its recently-launched second product, Maestro, which is the first calendar designed specifically for executive assistants.
The team impressed us with how they were able to quickly iterate on the product based on feedback from customers. Our firm believes there is a huge opportunity in solving everyday scheduling and meeting pains, particularly those that Executive Assistants face, a demographic that has traditionally been underserved by the industry," said Altos Ventures' Dillon Krasnigor. In our opinion, Vimcal has tremendous potential and we look forward to partnering with them."
The majority of executive assistants are responsible for managing the calendars of more than one executive. There are high stakes at every meeting, and no mistakes can be made, which makes building software for EA's a complex challenge because the stakes are so high," says Liu. "Calendar users are like the Navy Seals of the Internet". As long as we can build a calendar for them, we can build a calendar for anyone else as well.With this development, Vimcal is expanding its influence in large enterprise organizations, revolutionizing the management of executive calendars in a way that is faster and more accurate than ever before
