History

Wrike was founded in 2006 by Andrew Filev. Filev initially self-funded the company before obtaining investor funding later on[2]. Wrike released the beta version of it’s software (which is also called Wrike) in December 2006, and publicly debuted the application that month at the Le Web 3 conference in Paris, where it won the prize for the B2B category[3]. They then launched a new "Enterprise" platform aimed at larger businesses in December 2013[4]. In 2016 Wrike  launched a datacenter in Europe to host data in compliance with local privacy regulations[5]. In July of the same year Wrike announced the launch of Wrike for Marketers, their first move into verticalized solutions. The product was designed around the typical marketing workflow, which often revolves around briefs, requests, assignments, reviews and approvals[6].

After bootstrapping the company for nearly 7 years, Wrike secured $10 million in investment funding from Bain Capital[7] in October 2013. In May 2015, the company secured $15 million in a new round of funding. Investors included Scale Venture Partners, DCM Ventures, and Bain Capital. At that time, Wrike had 8,000 customers, 200 employees, and 30,000 new users each month[8] [9]
