Company Info

ResourceGuru is a product of Resource Guru Limited based in London, UK. It is a privately held company founded in 2011 by Andrew Rogoff and Percy Stillwell. The co founders, or Vice Gurus, have worked in the web industry for many years. They know how problematic and inefficient it was to work with spreadsheets for resource scheduling, so they decided to build a better way. After designing their prototype and working with Platform45, a development team in Cape Town, they have come up with a great resource scheduling application. In January 2014, the company received an additional $870K of seed funding led by Index Ventures. They plan to use these funds in hiring staff, enhancing the product, and attracting more customers.
