InVision (Freehand acquired by Miro)

InVision is a leading product design and development platform that enables teams to collaborate on creating digital products. Founded in 2011 by Clark Valberg, InVision has evolved into a comprehensive suite of tools for designers, developers, and project managers. The company's flagship product is a cloud-based platform that allows users to create interactive prototypes, collaborate in real-time, and streamline the design workflow. InVision's tools include Studio for vector graphics and pixel-level design, Cloud for prototype creation and testing, and Freehand, a digital whiteboard for real-time collaboration.

One of InVision's key offerings is Freehand, an online whiteboarding tool that facilitates interactive and collaborative brainstorming sessions, ideation, and diagramming within teams. Freehand provides an intuitive interface with tools for drawing, annotating, and creating flowcharts, making it ideal for designers, developers, and project managers alike. The platform supports real-time collaboration, allowing participants to contribute simultaneously, which is particularly valuable for remote or distributed teams.

InVision operates on a fully remote and globally distributed model, with no physical headquarters or offices. This approach has influenced the company's product development, focusing on creating tools that enhance remote collaboration and digital workflows. As of 2024, InVision continues to innovate in the design collaboration space, offering solutions that cater to the evolving needs of digital product teams worldwide.
