With this acquisition, Plane officially expands to the United States, marking a pivotal moment in its evolution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bringing the Sort team into Plane and expanding into the US are meaningful steps as we scale both our technology and our community,&#8221; said Plane&#8217;s CEO, Vamsi Kurama. &#8220;Our focus remains on building a platform that&#8217;s not just open-core in principle, but also in practice\u2014designed to give teams full ownership of their workflows, data, and future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Sort team brings not only deep technical expertise in scalable software, but also a history of solving complex enterprise challenges with AI-driven architectures. By integrating this talent, Plane aims to accelerate its mission of delivering a customisable, secure, and transparent project management solution tailored for businesses navigating digital transformation.<\/p>\n<p>The move comes faster than expected\u2014only 18 months after Plane secured USD 4 million in seed funding. Originally planned as a later-phase initiative, the expansion into California reflects mounting demand from North American enterprises for modern, self-managed project tools.<\/p>\n<p>Adding further momentum, Plane welcomes seasoned talent from industry leaders like PayPal, Elastic, and BitGo. Their collective experience in scaling developer-first products aligns with Plane&#8217;s goal to build a unified Work OS that includes task management, wikis, timelines, and advanced security features.<\/p>\n<p>Already trusted by over 1,000,000 users, Plane is setting its sights higher. As Plane takes flight in the US, it&#8217;s clear the future of project management is not just open\u2014it&#8217;s intelligent, flexible, and built for how teams truly work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You&#8217;re reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media.
