Profile

In 2011, MURAL was launched to give teams a secure, digital workspace to collaborate visually from anywhere. To do this it relies on a digital whiteboard canvas that allows colleagues and clients to share ideas and brainstorm, even when they’re remote. Today, MURAL leads the market with best-in-class security and facilitator features that help teams collaborate using 200+ goal-oriented templates, digital sticky notes, images, diagrams, drawings, and more.

When the pandemic accelerated the need for businesses to create while working remotely, visual collaboration went mainstream. According to MURAL, prior to 2020, its monthly active users were in the hundreds of thousands. By August 2020, however, the company had added over a million monthly active users. Currently the company supports nearly 80 percent of Fortune 100 global enterprises. Clients such as IBM, IDEO, Autodesk, Intuit, GitHub, and Atlassian use the MURAL platform to work together — at any time and from anywhere.

Because of the company’s accelerated growth, MURAL has recently attracted new backers. In August 2020, MURAL closed $118 million in Series B funding, giving it a total $142 million. Headquartered in Buenos Aires and San Francisco, MURAL’s teams are spread across California, Colorado, Atlanta, New York, Miami, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, and beyond.

Environmental Impact

MURAL has employed ingenious methods to cut down on its carbon footprint. The company has reduced travel expenses through its design thinking sessions to the tune of $16.4 million. Per session, a median of two employees are able to avoid traveling. Around $2.7 million was saved in the cost of supplies for in-person sessions. MURAL cut down its use of paper products and on-site catering and passed the savings onto environmental initiatives.

Charitable Causes

MURAL for Nonprofits is an offering tailored to serve nonprofit organizations designated as a 501(c)(3) or international equivalent. Certain groups may qualify for an entirely free nonprofit workspace, or a 50% discount on any plan. The full package comes with 10 free workspace memberships for teams, 25 guest licenses for clients, and unlimited visitors. Nonprofits need only check-in once a year for renewal.

Diversity & Inclusion

MURAL’s gender population is 41% women and 50% men, with 9% preferring not to answer.

The company has installed a diversity, inclusion, and belonging task force comprised of employee volunteers. They conceive of special events to draw awareness to multiple dimensions of social systems and identities that interact with one another, including sexual orientation, ethnic background, and parental status. The task force works closely with MURAL’s ERGs to ensure the workspace is safe and inclusive.

MURAL started the learning session “Culture Connection” to foster multi-cultural appreciation and let staff share their unique journeys.
