Deep dives

Founding Story and Initial Challenges

The co-founders Nathan Gilmore and John began their journey with TeamGantt after facing limitations in project management tools while working at a commercial roofing company. Their struggle to efficiently share project timelines led them to create a web-based solution, as traditional tools often involved cumbersome PDF exports that couldn’t easily be updated. Despite juggling full-time jobs and family responsibilities, they dedicated four hours every Saturday to develop their product. Within six months, they had a basic version ready for testing, which laid the groundwork for their future success.
