ClickUp acquired Slapdash ( April 2022 ), a task manager and productivity suite, marking its first acquisition. Slapdash integrates with more than 40 business applications, including Slack, Google Drive, and Salesforce, to give users higher control to search for information with custom commands, providing them with highly contextual search results. The acquisition aims to improve the efficiency and accessibility of company knowledge for ClickUp users, by enabling users to search and action across several different platforms from a centralized location. In January 2024, Clickup acquired Hypercal , a UK-based calendar app to connect it to its native calendar functionality and infuse new AI-powered features into its productivity suite.

In May 2023, the company launched ClickUp AI, which grants users multiple AI commands and role-specific prompts including the ability to improve written content and summarization features. In January 2024, Clickup launched ClickUp Brain , a novel AI offering that includes a knowledge manager, a project manager, and an AI Write that aims to streamline organizational workflow by reducing unnecessary work.

In June 2024, ClickUp introduced a Knowledge Management tool, which unifies a Wiki-like editor with an AI system that can compile data from different platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Confluence.

In July 2023, ClickUp expanded its investment in Europe with localized data hosting in its European data center, allowing customers subscribed to its Enterprise plan the option to host their data in ClickUp’s European region at no additional cost. Previously, in June 2023 , ClickUp laid off 10% of its workforce, or ~90 people, from various divisions, including software engineering and customer support, moving some of its support roles to lower-cost regions. The decision was also made to prepare for a potential public listing and increase efficiency amid a market slowdown.

Key customers and partnerships

As of April 2022, Its customer base consists of more than 800,000 teams globally, including Google, Nike, Uber, Netflix, and Airbnb.

Funding and financials

In October 2021 , ClickUp raised USD 400 million in a Series C funding round co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Tiger Global. The round values it at USD 4 billion, reflecting a 4x increase from its previous valuation of USD 1 billion (USD 100 million Series B, December 2020). The increase is likely due to significant growth in users from 200,000 to 800,000 since October 2020. The fresh funds are expected to be used to further expand in Europe, which accounts for 34% of its user base, as of October 2021. ClickUp plans to set up a new HQ with 600 new hires in Ireland for R&D, operations, and sales. Moreover, it expects to set up localized versions of its platform for France, Germany, and Spain.
