We are building the calmest workplace on earth
Nimbus started in 2021 with a simple belief: teams do their best work when their tools get out of the way. Today we serve 10,000+ teams in 120 countries — and we are just getting started.
Our mission
"To give every team a workspace that is calm, fast, and built for the way humans actually work."
Our story
Nimbus was born out of frustration. Our founders, Maya and Daniel, spent a decade leading product and engineering teams — and watched their colleagues drown in notifications, status meetings, and a dozen disconnected tools.
In 2021 they set out to build something different: a single workspace that brought planning, building, and measuring together — without the bloat. The first version was a side project that took off overnight.
Today, Nimbus is a team of 180+ people across 22 countries, all united by the same belief that great software should reduce stress, not create it.

Our values
The principles that shape every product decision and every hire.
Calm over chaos
Software should reduce stress, not create it. We design for focus and clarity, always.
Earn trust
We win our customers' trust with every release — through reliability, transparency, and support.
Build for everyone
Great tools should be accessible to any team, anywhere. Accessibility is a baseline, not a bonus.
Move with purpose
Speed matters, but direction matters more. We ship thoughtfully and listen before we act.
