It enables companies to create, structure, and share documentation internally and with customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Archbee is an online <strong>knowledge management system<\/strong> that can help you build a <strong>knowledge base for your growing team<\/strong> and <strong>hosted product docs for your customers<\/strong>, all within the same awesome UI. It started focusing on great features for software development teams, but Archbee also works very well for different types of teams, like sales, marketing, product, and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Archbee has raised a total of $1M in funding over 1 round. This was a Seed round raised on Jul 19, 2021. With investors like Inovo Venture Partners, and getting into Y Combinator startup accelerator, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/organization\/archbee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Crunchbase<\/a>, the team is looking to <a href=\"https:\/\/roadmap.archbee.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">continue the product development<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Product-based companies such as Archbee often face a struggle to announce product updates to their customers, especially when there is a high velocity on the development side. With many product updates each week, it becomes harder and harder to announce this news and stay in touch with customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-border-color has-theme-palette-2-color has-text-color\" style=\"border-color:#ffffff\"><blockquote><p>For a product-first company with an engineering culture, communicating what you built to customers and potential users is essential.<\/p><cite><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#168abc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">CLAUDIU DASCALESCU, GROWTH MARKETER, ARCHBEE<\/mark><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Startups rely on speed to build and talk with customers. So having an easy-to-set-up tool that informs the users about the newest releases and engaging with the customers was the main problem Archbee wanted to solve.<br><br>A newsletter is sometimes not enough, and having a public changelog with an elegant yet straightforward design was needed. Having a place where you announce fixes, improvements, or new features doesn&#8217;t mean a lot without users&#8217; feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<meta charset=\"utf-8\">Archbee was lucky enough to find AnnounceKit before trying other tools.<br><br><meta charset=\"utf-8\">With a mission to \u201c<meta charset=\"utf-8\">create, structure and share documentation internally and to customers for companies.\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spendesk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Archbee<\/a>&nbsp;uses AnnounceKit to have a single place for product updates, which their customers can see the features, fixes, and improvements.<br><br>For a product-first company with an engineering culture, communicating what you built to customers and potential users is essential.&#8221; says Claudiu Dascalescu. After using AnnounceKit, they improved their direct and indirect communication since potential customers might look up to see what they worked on and the velocity of the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-theme-palette-2-color has-text-color\"><blockquote><p>AnnounceKit is an easy-to-use tool that solves Archbee&#8217;s pain point dramatically.<\/p><cite><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><span style=\"color:#168abc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">CLAUDIU DASCALESCU, GROWTH MARKETER, ARCHBEE<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/announcekit.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/claudiu.png\" alt=\"announcekit solves archbee's pain point\" class=\"wp-image-2295\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>They wanted a place to announce product updates with customers and gather feedback from them to improve their product.
