Smartsheet Inc. is an American publicly listed company that develops and markets the Smartsheet application. As of 2023, it had over 3,000 employees, and is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington.[2] The company was founded in the summer of 2005, shortly after co-founder Brent Frei sold his prior company, Onyx Software.[3][4][5] Initially it was funded mostly by Frei.[3] About a year after its founding, Smartsheet had raised $4 million in funding and had just nine employees.[4] By early 2012 it had raised $8.2 million in funding over three rounds and hired its first salesperson.[6][7]

After the Smartsheet software was redesigned in 2010, the company's revenues grew by more than 100 percent each year, for four consecutive years.[8] It raised $26 million in funding in December 2012[9][7] and another $35 million in May 2014.[6] In 2017, the company raised an additional $52.1 million in funding.[10] In 2018, it was announced that Smartsheet acquired Converse.AI, a Scotland-based company that develops software for creating business automation bots.[11]

The company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on April 27, 2018.[12] In May 2019, Smartsheet announced it had acquired 10,000 ft, a SaaS platform that provides real-time resource and capacity planning.[13]

In September 2024, Vista Equity Partners and Blackstone announced their intent to buy Smartsheet for $8.4 billion in cash, at $56.50 per share.[14]
