Punchlist — a platform that removes roadblocks from the collaboration process by creating an annotation layer over your creative work like a website, image, or pdf — announced recently that it has closed a $2 million seed funding round led by Overline and PJC, with participation from Craig Sherman and several private investors. And Punchlist will use the funds to accelerate the growth of the product, expand integrations, and hire new team members in marketing and engineering.
And Punchlist, an Atlanta-based alum of Techstars 2021 was co-founded by Pete Bernardo (CEO) and Nic Rosental (CTO) after the duo spent years in the technology industry and experienced the friction that comes with providing and acting on design feedback through a series of back and forth emails. And Punchlist removes this friction and reduces the need to meet with its intuitive solution, which allows teams to instantly provide, receive and collaborate on feedback – without any training – whether it’s for a PowerPoint presentation, social media graphics, or a live website.
Punchlist’s customers belong to a diverse set of verticals, including technology, finance, real estate, education, and marketing. And Punchlist launched its integrations with WordPress and Slack, allowing more teams to collaborate where their creative and development work is done.
This platform already integrates with more than 10 task management tools in total like Jira and Asana. And Punchlist has over 8,000 users in 39 countries and has saved their customers more than 250,000 hours of working time by streamlining and providing clarity to their collaboration processes.

“Our vision is to change the way creative work is done. Nowadays, design happens across entire organizations, in any department and role; our goal is to level up any individual by giving them the tools to effortlessly get feedback on their work and provide real-time system feedback looking for common issues like accessibility problems, grammar, and even marketing best practices.”
— Pete Bernardo
“Pete and Nic are solving one of the most pervasive problems in digital work—closing the loop on creative feedback—with an intuitive solution that lives where the work is being done. We’re thrilled to support Punchlist through their next phase of growth.”
— Michael Cohn with Overline — who will also be joining Punchlist’s board
