Why ClickUp Loves Small Businesses | Powerful Tools for SMBs

At ClickUp, small businesses aren’t just another customer segment. They’re the reason we exist. Our founder, Zeb Evans, started ClickUp as a scrappy entrepreneur who personally felt the pain of work sprawl. Juggling too many tools, way too much busywork, and not enough time to focus on what really matters: building something great. That’s why supporting small businesses is at the heart of everything we do.

As Zeb puts it:

Small businesses are the heartbeat of opportunity. We built ClickUp so entrepreneurs could spend less time on busywork and more time building their dreams. We’re obsessed with helping SMBs win.

Pat Henderson, Founder & Executive Producer at path8 Productions, shares:

We were spending too much time updating different systems that weren’t talking to each other. It slowed us down and increased the chance of things falling through the cracks
