Product overview
Favro is an agile project management platform headquartered in Uppsala, Sweden. Founded in 2016 by Patric Palm, Erik Olofsson, and Hans Dalstrom, the company serves over 1,500 customers, with particular adoption among technology and gaming companies that work in iterative development cycles. The tool is built around flexible boards, backlogs, and collections that can be combined to represent different views of the same work, allowing product, engineering, and design teams to see projects from their own perspective without duplicating data. Favro also includes sheets (spreadsheet-style databases), docs and wikis, roadmaps, scheduling, and workflow automation. The company has raised $4.6 million in seed funding from investors including Creandum, Practica Capital, and Scale Capital. With about 36 employees, Favro remains a smaller player compared to tools like Jira or Asana, but it has built a following among scaling startups and distributed teams. The company explicitly markets its Swedish headquarters and EU-based servers as a data governance advantage. No free plan is available, but a 14-day trial is offered. Paid plans start at $10.20 per user per month on annual billing, with a minimum of two users. KEY FEATURES: - Flexible boards, backlogs, and collections with multiple synchronized views - Sprint planning and backlog management for Scrum workflows - Built-in docs, wikis, and spreadsheet-style databases - Workflow automation with custom triggers and actions - Integrations with Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Miro, and Zapier
