Company Overview
Upwave was created by Upwave Inc. (Delaware, USA), a representative platform in the visual work management space. Unlike traditional project management tools, Upwave was designed with visualization as the core interaction paradigm—using Kanban boards as the basic work unit, supplemented by Timeline, Calendar, and Portfolio Dashboard views.
As of 2026, Upwave is used by over 10,000 organizations across technology, media, financial services, consulting, and education.
