Dart GTM brain

Dart provides a shared project management workspace for teams to coordinate tasks and AI agents.

category

AI work and agent management

market profile

  • text: Teams adopting AI agents must coordinate delegated work, human review and project context alongside existing tasks.
  • text: Project management competes for time with the actual work of building and serving users.

personas

  • title: Product lead at an AI-forward startup
    pains:
    • Tasks and handoffs fall through cracks across people and agents.
    • Roadmaps, status updates and planning absorb time needed for product decisions.
  • title: Engineering manager
    pains:
    • Coding agents and engineers need shared task context and human review.
    • Keeping project tracking synchronized with development work requires manual updates.
  • title: Agency operations lead
    pains:
    • Multiple client projects make ownership and delivery visibility difficult.
    • Routine planning and reporting pull attention away from client work.

icp

  • text: Startups and software teams experimenting with coding agents and AI-assisted work management.
  • text: Agencies and cross-functional departments coordinating projects, tasks and recurring reports.
  • text: Small teams can start on a free plan of up to four teammates, while larger teams can expand to paid tiers.

message pillars

  • text: Bring people and agents into one workspace.
  • text: Keep handoffs tied to the work itself.
  • text: Coordinate the whole team around shared context.

objections

  • objection: We already manage projects in another tool.
    response: Pilot one project, check import and integration support, and compare time spent on updates and coordination.
  • objection: Can we trust agents to execute work?
    response: Assign bounded tasks and review outputs with a human before broadening the workflow.
  • objection: Will it meet enterprise access needs?
    response: Evaluate SSO, provisioning and permissions against your security requirements and chosen plan.

Founders

  • name: Milad Malek
    title: Founder
    role: Founder
    bio: I'm a co-founder at Dart helping to build the most intelligent project management tool. Previously I studied physics at Stanford. After that I was an investor at Plug and Play Ventures where I led ventures activities in the Smart Cities vertical focused on energy and sustainability. I also worked with major corporations on their innovation strategies, and I helped to launch various international offices.
  • name: Zack Swafford
    title: Technical Cofounder
    role: Founder
    bio: I'm a cofounder at Dart, which is the ultimate agent and work management tool! Before Dart I was at Stanford, then Plenty. As the first engineer there I laid the groundwork for our full stack application suite, data pipelines, and ML and CV models. We grew very quickly so I hired out a full team, building and managing an org of dozens of engineers, product managers, and others. Would love to chat about Dart (which typically saves teams about a third of their PM time) or anything else--ping me!
