Too many teams spend more time managing their software than doing the work they were hired to do. We founded TeamGrid in 2015 to change that — one platform where projects, clients, time, and finances belong together from the start.
Fragmented tools don't just slow teams down. They generate silent overhead that compounds over years — in the searching, the syncing, the endless asking who has the latest version. At some point, a team spends more time coordinating its software than doing the work it was hired to do. That isn't a discipline problem. It's a design failure.
We built TeamGrid because we start from a different conviction: a company doesn't need a dozen tools wired together. It needs a foundation — one where projects, clients, time, finance and communication were never separate to begin with. In 2023 we rebuilt everything, with AI not as a feature but as structure. The result isn't another tool in the stack. It's the operating system for teams who don't have time to manage their tools.
"Context is everything. And context only exists when the system is whole — not when twelve tools claim to talk to each other."
— Tobias Hieb, Founder & CEO
From the first line of code to an autonomous operating system. An idea that took time — and was worth every year.
Before there was a product, there was a problem: project management software that actually works for agencies. We built for two years before showing it to the world.
No feature sprawl. Built from real agency workflows, not invented in a boardroom.
TeamGrid launches — and lands on the front page of Product Hunt. Within months, over 200 agencies are running on the platform.
The product spoke for itself. Real validation from practitioners, not a marketing budget.
The operating system for agencies.
We take the stage at one of the world's largest tech conferences — with sipgate. A clear signal of deeper integrations and growing industry credibility.
Conversations with enterprise teams that matter. TeamGrid becomes serious infrastructure — not just a tool.
World premiere in Berlin. The industry's first fully automated resource scheduling goes live — celebrated with clients and partners at our office.
Not just a new feature — a paradigm shift. Software that thinks before your team has to.
A marketing and sales team of over 200 people migrates fully to TeamGrid. We build an automation engine that fundamentally transforms how Ingram Micro operates.
Enterprise means scalable workflows, zero manual handoffs, and reliability at every level.
At CAMPIXX in Berlin, we present TeamGrid to the people who run campaigns and client work every day — the audience we've always built for.
No panel presentations. Real conversations, direct feedback, and a growing network in the SEO and marketing community.
For the first time, customers bill over one billion US dollars through TeamGrid. Software becomes critical infrastructure — and trust becomes currency.
When invoicing, projects, and time tracking all converge in one system, operational clarity follows.
TeamGrid TeamGrid relocates to Dubai — at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The right environment for a company built to scale globally.
A deliberate move: maximum entrepreneurial freedom, access to international markets, and the world's talent.
TeamGrid is rebuilt from scratch — with AI not as an add-on, but as the structural foundation of the entire platform.
A core team rebuilds it all: data model, infrastructure, product. Faster, smarter, more autonomous.
AI isn't a feature you just bolt onto existing software. It's the foundation upon which the next generation of enterprise software must be built.
Five years after the first billion, we've crossed three. TeamGrid becomes economic infrastructure for our customers.
Scale without friction — reliability companies plan around every day.
TeamGrid Quietly built since 2023. A complete rebuild — grounded in a decade of experience with over 1,600 customers worldwide.
Not an upgrade. A new foundation — AI as the core, not an add-on.
The four ideas that guide every decision we make — from a single design choice to the direction of the whole product.
Most software demands attention. Ours gives it back. Every dialog removed, every animation cut, every word trimmed returns focus to the work that actually matters.
Roadmaps built by committee make software for nobody. We listen carefully — then decide ourselves. The best products were never the average of all opinions in the room.
We don't ship features. We ship a coherent view of how a company should operate — where every screen supports the next, every decision moves in the same direction, and the whole is always greater than the parts.
If you're waiting on us, something is wrong. Speed isn't a metric we report on Friday — it's a debt we pay daily to everyone who trusts us with their time.
Business software is overdue for a fundamental reset. For decades, companies have been forced to work across disconnected systems — tasks in one place, customers in another, files, messages, invoices and decisions scattered across tools that were never designed to understand the company as a whole. The cost was never just inefficiency. It was lost context. And without context, even the most advanced AI is just a chatbot with amnesia.
Context is what turns information into intelligence. Every task, every project, every message, every invoice creates it. The companies that win the next decade will be the ones whose software finally captures it — and gives it back.
The future of work is not more apps. It is one connected foundation, where every record lives in the same model. Where the CRM knows the project, the project knows the invoice, and the invoice knows the customer. Where nothing is ever exported again.
A shared data model is not a technical feature. It is the precondition for accountability, clarity and trust across the entire organization. Without it, no dashboard tells the truth twice in a row.
AI is only valuable when it can act, not just answer. And it can only act when memory, permissions and authority are part of the system itself — not a chat window pasted on top of one.
Powerful does not have to mean complicated. The best software is deep but calm, intelligent but transparent, beautiful but practical. Simple on the surface, vast underneath. The interface you forget — because the work, finally, comes first.
TeamGrid 2 is not another project management tool. It is a new foundation for how modern companies work — a business operating system designed for the moment AI moves from feature to substrate.
We are not building software for the era that is ending.
We are building the operating system for the one that is just beginning.
The story behind TeamGrid 2 — two decades of building products, and why context became the product.
TeamGrid 2 is built by Tobias Hieb — a founder with over 20 years of experience building digital products, software platforms, and companies.
Tobias founded TeamGrid in 2015 with one clear ambition: a better way for companies to manage work. The first generation grew to serve agencies, sales teams, architects, marketing departments, and global organizations across every industry.
After years of building business software alongside real companies, one thing became unmistakably clear: the future of work wouldn't be defined by another project board, another CRM, or another productivity tool. It would be defined by context.
Tasks, projects, customers, files, messages, invoices, workflows, and decisions belong together. In most companies, they stay scattered across disconnected tools. Without that context, even the most capable AI remains limited. That realization became the foundation for TeamGrid 2 — not another app, but an AI-first operating system for the modern company.
"Powerful software shouldn't feel complicated. It should feel clear, calm, and beautifully simple."
