“Nothing to share on this topic,” a Wunderlist spokesperson says in response to my questions about M&A activity. (Interesting when you consider that two of the early API partners here are Microsoft’s Sunrise and OneNote.) In fact, two sources have gone one step further and named Microsoft as potentially a very strong contender.
WUNDERLIST VS ANYDO FREE
The company says it is not raising any more at the moment, although, perhaps on the strength of its size, team and product targeting both free and paid users, we’ve heard that they’ve been approached for acquisition by several of “the obvious candidates”. That happened finally with the launch of Wunderlist 3 in July 2014.ĦWunderkinder, the startup that makes Wunderlist, has received nearly $24 million in funding to date, with other investors including Earlybird and Atomico. At the time, I was told the API would be coming “soon.”Īs it happened, the team had to rebuild its whole product to get the API to where they wanted it to be (I’d love to get a look at that years-long to-do list). I’d actually heard of API plans back in 2013, when the company raised $19 million led by Sequoia (significant for being the storied VC’s first investment in a Berlin startup). Wunderlist announced the API was about to be released in March of this year, but in fact it is a long time in coming. The first wave of API partners - which have been playing around with a closed beta of the API since January, the company tells me - are Sunrise, Slack, OneNote, HipChat, Zapier and Scanbot. And today it is adding a new feature that it hopes will make the app a lot more useful and more used: it’s finally turning on an API so that people can create or modify Wunderlist tasks in other apps, and get alerts for Wunderlist tasks when they’re in those apps. Wunderlist, the to-do app based out of Berlin, is now approaching 13 million free and paid accounts.
