$4.4 billion Smartsheet has seen its stock more than double since it went public a year ago. We talked to the CEO about what makes it special, and why employees love working there.
Business Insider spoke with Mader about what's next for Smartsheet, including plans to make its product better-suited to specific usages, and hone in on international markets. And just on Thursday, Smartsheet announced it acquired a Seattle-based company called 10,000ft, which helps companies with planning and managing resources, adding those features to its main offering.
"The thing that intrigued me was, can I represent a company with an offering that was straightforward enough to explain that the median professional will understand," Mader said."As opposed to, 'We work on super advanced algorithms for optimization of supply chain. I love representing a brand that connects to really advanced use cases and everyday needs."
Mader says that Smartsheet's answer to that question is by empowering every employee to make a real difference at the company — even if they're only interns. All Smartsheet engineering interns are on the hook to deliver one real-life feature to the app by the end of their summer internship. Going forward, Smartsheet will continue investing in growing its team and improving its product, Mader says. Smartsheet plans to build automation features, whether that comes in the form of freeing up users' time in doing manual, repetitive tasks, or making recommendations.
