InVision<\/a>, the design collaboration tool based out of New York, has today announced the close of a $100 million Series E funding round. The financing was led by Battery Ventures, with participation from existing investors Accel, Tiger Global Management, Firstmark and ICONIQ Capital, along with new investors Spark Capital and Geodesic.<\/p>\n InVision launched back in 2011 as a tool that would simply let designers build out prototypes of websites or applications without having engineers write out all the code each time a small change is made. The company has since grown to service 80 percent of the Fortune 100, according to InVision, with over 3 million users at companies like Airbnb, Disney, and Nike.<\/p>\n \u201cThe screen is most important place in the word,\u201d said InVision CEO Clark Valberg. \u201cEvery company is becoming a digital product company and every company has to think about people, practices and platforms that they use to adapt to digital world. InVision is emerging as an operating system for product design, from the idea phase to product development to shipment.\u201d<\/p>\n InVision has been particularly busy of late.<\/p>\n The company recently announced InVision Studio<\/a>, which is meant to take on Photoshop and Sketch, giving designers all the tools they need to not only collaborate with their peers, but create the original designs. InVision also acquired Brand.ai<\/a>, a tool that helps manage design teams at scale with cloud-based asset management.<\/p>\n InVision says that more than 70 percent of its users aren\u2019t on the design team, which is part of what has made the company so successful over the past six years.<\/p>\n I asked Valberg about the key to the company\u2019s rapid growth and success.<\/p>\n \u201cEverything we do is inspired by the best design teams in the world that make the things we love the most,\u201d said Valberg. \u201cThe design teams at Netflix and Airbnb don\u2019t just send us emails. They tell us where they think design is going and where design tooling should go, and I\u2019ve stayed super close to those conversations to build an organization that is fairly responsive to those things.\u201d<\/p>\n He added that this proximity, and the \u201cauthentic, intimate relationship\u201d that InVision shares with these design teams is the thing that most contrasts InVision from other players like Adobe.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Article source: http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/techcrunchIt\/~3\/nSF_GFwcq4s\/<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" InVision, the design collaboration tool based out of New York, has today announced the close of a $100 million Series E funding round.
