It’s certainly a limitation, but one that probably cuts down on confusion and the temptation to stuff pages with as much as you can think of. Rather than being organized around pages, which can contain multiple data sets and perspectives, Taskade’s projects are limited strictly to one database each. Taskade’s platform is organized around tasks arranged inside projects.
TASKADE MAC SOFTWARE
Taskade has built this framework into a more collaborative tool, while trying to place limits on itself so that users aren’t left with an endless amount of customizations, something that can be both a blessing (to the technically minded) and a curse (to those who don’t find exploring a piece of software deeply enjoyable). The startup certainly seems to take a page or two from Notion, where you can re-visualize databases in tables or Kanban boards with ease. You can take notes, designate tasks, chat with co-workers, set goals and visualize everything you’ve already completed. It’s a platform that tries to meet an awful lot of needs at once. The startup graduated from YC in the most recent batch and has now locked down $5 million in seed funding from Grishin Robotics and Y Combinator, Taskade CEO John Xie tells TechCrunch.

It’s a tool for startup teams to collaborate around projects that can be re-organized based on how the individual user best works through tasks. Taskade appears to be the love child of Notion, Slack and Asana. In an age where “consumerization of the enterprise” is a trendy phrase for investors, it was natural a startup would come along to bundle its take on some of the trendiest startup tools. Enterprise software tool startups are so often birthed to either un-bundle or re-bundle what came before them.
