That's what I'd like to know. How did they get so many people interested in yet another project management app (I swear I hear about a new one every month)? That's the most crucial piece of info they could possibly share, anything else is not really useful at all, frankly.

People manage projects, and usually get paid for it. The audience is use and wildly segmented.

You see a lot of apps in this space for two reasons: a lot of people need project management tools, and most of these people will pay for one that works well for them.
