Abstract

Abstract, with the slogan "Abstract puts everyone in the design process on the same page," is redefining file-based design collaboration. Founded in 2016, the company emerged from the necessity of providing designers with proper version control tools. This vision led to the development of its first product, effectively managing, versioning, and documenting design files.

Since its launch in 2017, Abstract has established itself as the leading platform in its niche, assisting over 7,000 companies, including notable names like Wayfair, Cisco, Docusign, Microsoft, and Zendesk, to enhance their workflows. The company, headquartered in the United States, is deeply rooted in design and internet industries.

The platform advances the collaborative dimension of design work, providing features like task tracking, design reviews, and effectiveness metrics under what they term as "design intelligence." The latest strategic growth moment for Abstract was an acquisition investment by Adobe Systems on 01 October 2022, positioning the company to further deepen its integration into creative processes.
