What zipBoard does

zipBoard Tech Inc. is a Vancouver-based SaaS company that operates a cloud-based visual review and collaboration platform, founded in 2016. The platform enables distributed teams to annotate and provide feedback directly on websites, PDFs, images, videos, eLearning/SCORM courses, schematics, and ZIP/HTML prototypes via a browser-based interface and browser extensions (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, IE), with no software installation required. Core capabilities include visual annotation, automated conversion of feedback into trackable tasks, document version control, custom approval workflows, and guest reviewer access without sign-up, exposed through a REST API and integrations with Jira, Slack, Procore, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, Wrike, LambdaTest, and Zapier. The product is hosted primarily on AWS (with optional Microsoft Azure deployment), with MongoDB Atlas for data and Stripe for billing, and inherits SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27001, PCI DSS Level 1, FedRAMP, GDPR, and CCPA compliance posture through its infrastructure providers.

The company sells through three subscription tiers — Team at $99/month, Agency at $199/month, and a custom-priced Enterprise tier — supplemented by a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, a self-serve PLG motion, and an enterprise field-sales motion via 'Request a Demo'. Revenue is recurring SaaS subscription. zipBoard targets four primary verticals: Design Agencies, Enterprise, AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction), and Learning & Design / eLearning, with secondary use in software development teams. Named customers include KnowBe4, Infosys, Best Practice Medicine, and ELM Learning on the enterprise side, alongside SMB users in design and creative services. The company reports 20,000+ platform users and 15,000+ projects created to date, operates with 1–10 employees, and has no disclosed external funding, suggesting a bootstrapped operating model. An opt-in AI layer (zipBoard AI), powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, provides auto-generated task statuses, task type recommendations, and auto-tagging.
