A $10.2B category, built on legacy tools. We’re the next category leader.
Agilic® is a purpose-built effort management platform for matrix organizations. Light is live in Beta. Matrix is next. The category is wide open.
Investment Thesis
Three structural advantages that legacy incumbents cannot replicate through incremental updates.
Effort Management is a distinct, empty category
Legacy PM tools manage projects. Agilic® manages all effort — official projects, unofficial projects, department initiatives, and personal tasks. No incumbent owns this category because none were built for it.
Matrix support is the real moat
Agilic® is architected from the ground up for matrix organizations — shared resources, multiple reporting lines, cross-functional teams. Competitors would need to rebuild their core data model to replicate this.
One Matrix client = 40–200 Light clients
Matrix is the enterprise product. A single Matrix deployment replaces fragmented tools across an entire organization, delivering outsized revenue per customer with strong retention economics.
Two Products, One Platform
Land with Light, expand with Matrix. Two products that share a single architecture and compound each other’s value.
Agilic® Light
Full-featured project management for teams and small organizations. Hybrid methodology support, AI assistant, Client Portal, CRM, and the 4× effort framework — all in one tool.
Agilic® Matrix
Enterprise effort management for matrix organizations. Multi-project orchestration, shared resource management, portfolio visibility, and cross-functional team coordination.
The 4× Effort Management Framework
Legacy tools manage projects. Agilic® manages all the effort that actually consumes your organization’s capacity.
Official Projects
Funded, planned initiatives with formal governance, timelines, and dedicated resources.
Unofficial Projects
Work that matters but lives outside formal project structures — proofs of concept, pilots, skunkworks.
Department Initiatives
Ongoing operational goals, process improvements, and team-level objectives that consume real capacity.
Personal & Ad-Hoc
Professional development, ad-hoc requests, and day-to-day tasks that fragment attention and go untracked.
