“MURAL has repeatedly supported massive implementations and met the exacting specifications of global enterprises,” said Jeff Lieberman of Insight Partners. “The company has shifted from a startup to a scaleup, not only growing revenue through rapid expansion within Fortune 500 companies, but also onboarding new enterprise customers and consulting partners at high velocity. Insight Partners looks forward to helping to accelerate market adoption of MURAL to support the future of team collaboration.”
Enterprise teams and consulting leaders use MURAL to generate common understanding and solve problems through visual collaboration. More than an online whiteboard, MURAL enables innovation at scale. It is a digital workspace for product strategy and planning, research and design collaboration, facilitated workshops that use agile and design thinking methodologies, and sales and consulting engagements. MURAL integrates with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Dropbox, JIRA, Google Drive, and GitHub, among other platforms.
