Cosa fa Gantto

Gantto was conceived to fill one obvious gap in our weekly management routine. Each week we would collect status information based upon what was really happening inside the organization and then update our project models to reflect and digest the changes. Then we would spend tedious hours manually creating presentations based upon the same underlying project data that we had already updated. After a long search for a good solution we set out to create our own. Gantto is a play on words on gantt chart â€“ the most commonly used visual representation of project schedules. Gantt charts take their name after Henry Gantt, who popularized them in 1910. In reality they were originally conceived by Karol Adamiecki, a Polish economist / engineer who invented them in 1896 and named them harmonograf.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Gantto to replace the tedious manual work in updating project schedules and presentations each week. It automates status updates and keeps Gantt charts synchronized with real team progress, so managers spend less time on presentations built from the same data they just updated.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and would base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and where our network is strongest. It's the natural place to incubate a B2B productivity tool focused on project management.
