Total funding

Checked — none published

No company-stated cumulative pre-IPO funding total found in Smartsheet's own IR archive or SEC filings. Aggregator figures exist but are refused as third-party-database. Left null, matching this catalogue's precedent for other formerly-VC-backed, now-delisted or public SaaS companies.

Valuation

Regulatory filing · 22 Jan 2025

Smartsheet's own closing announcement, Exhibit 99.1 to its Form 8-K: "Smartsheet ... today announced the completion of its acquisition by funds managed by Blackstone and Vista Equity Partners ('Vista') in a transaction valued at approximately $8.4 billion." Stockholders received $56.50 cash/share. This is the deal's own disclosed transaction value, not a third-party estimate.

Employees

Regulatory filing · 31 Jan 2024

FY2024 Form 10-K, Human Capital Resources: "As of January 31, 2024, we ... employed 3,330 people full time, with 2,563 in the United States and 767 internationally." Last headcount disclosed before delisting (10-Qs don't restate headcount).

Founded

Wikipedia · 18 Sep 2026

Infobox: Founded 2005. Founded June 2005 in Bellevue, WA as Navigo Technologies, Inc.; renamed Smartsheet.com, Inc. in 2006, the year the product launched publicly. 2005 (incorporation) used, not 2006 (product launch).

Revenue (TTM)

Regulatory filing · 31 Oct 2024

TTM revenue as of the quarter ended 2024-10-31 (Smartsheet's last full TTM window disclosed before the 2025-01-22 go-private close), summed from four consecutive quarterly 8-K earnings exhibits: Q4 FY2024 (ended 2024-01-31) $256.9M, Q1 FY2025 (ended 2024-04-30) $263.0M, Q2 FY2025 (ended 2024-07-31) $276.4M, Q3 FY2025 (ended 2024-10-31) $286.9M. Sum = $1,083.2M. Smartsheet's own non-GAAP ARR for the same date was separately stated as $1.133B; TTM used to match this catalogue's convention.

Public listing

Regulatory filing · 22 Jan 2025

All-cash take-private, delisted from NYSE, stock ceased trading. Smartsheet was NYSE-only, no dual listing.

Status

Regulatory filing · 22 Jan 2025

Timeline: merger agreement signed 2024-09-24; stockholders approved 2024-12-09; EU merger control (case M.11774) cleared 2025-01-08; transaction completed 2025-01-22 -- "Smartsheet's stock has ceased trading, and the company is no longer listed on the New York Stock Exchange." Rajeev Singh has been CEO since 2025-10-06 (smartsheet.com/content-center/news/smartsheet-names-rajeev-singh-ceo); the company continues to operate, sell and ship product under the Smartsheet name and the same legal entity, 'Smartsheet Inc.' Status kept active per this catalogue's retirement test (does anything still ship under the name), matching the precedent on zendesk's record (also taken private by a financial-sponsor consortium, kept active). Blackstone/Vista are financial sponsors, not AI companies this directory would itself list, so no acquired/subsidiary_of edge is written. This catalogue's take-private rule: a PE-owned company that still operates standalone is active (darktrace moved to active the same day).
