WTF happened to 2020…
At this point, it’s almost better to just think of it as a glitch in the matrix — an unexplainable occurrence that you just want to brush under the rug.
And while it can be easy to focus on what didn’t go as planned, there were actually some incredible moments that happened this year. To name a few, we’ve compiled a list of our top 20 moments from 2020:
Summarize this article for me please1. Raised $100M in our Series B
After raising a $35M Series A in June, we upheld our promise that our obsession with product, customer service, and vision will never change.
In addition to scaling exponentially, we were able to release brand-new native mobile apps, a Template Center, and Coaching Program.
We found that more resources allowed us to accomplish our mission even faster than we imagined — which is why in December, we raised our Series B to continue making the world more productive.

December was a busy month for ClickUp!
Aside from raising our Series B and launching some of our biggest features to date, 12,000+ attendees showed up and engaged with our team at LevelUp — our virtual productivity conference.
Highlights included learning how our development team uses ClickUp to ship super fast and getting the low-down on digital marketing in an MBA session with Dan Fleyshman and Neil Patel.

Aside from some of the best humans on the planet, our team is also joined by some of the most incredible pets. Picking only a few pictures for this post was nearly impossible. We have a #pets-of-clickup channel in Slack and highly encourage all animal-loving Slack users to do the same.

This one was a little tricky as there were always a few last-minute that snuck in, but if we’re looking at the regularly scheduled meetings such as weekly all-hands and daily standups, we took the remote world by storm!
All-hands are where we get big updates from across the entire team and standups are where each department syncs to quickly review what’s on their plate for the day.

Coming from a current employee, ClickUp has created an altruistic culture that supports our team in initiating random acts of kindness.
