My first Angel investment had its initial media surfacing on Monday.
PlanHQ is run by Tim Norton. It’s a Ruby on Rails development with Koz, Ben and Nat in the initial team.
PlanHQ is the lightweight collaborative business planning tool we’ve always wanted. It surfaced a few weeks early than we wanted but you can sign up now to be considered for the closed beta and you should see it in production by year end.
I’m investing in a number of tools that I’ve always wanted to run the businesses that I’ve been involved with. All are Software as a Service (SaaS) space and examples of Fund, Design, Build etc …
The PlanHQ team are all really bright and motivated. This one is a good example of Web 2.0 thinking applied to solving a significant business problem.
Get on the beta, give us feedback. This one will go global quickly.
