Built out of frustration. Kept simple on purpose.

An endless canvas. Zero handholds.

Every strategy session started the same way: open the whiteboard tool, stare at an infinite canvas and a wall of toolbars. Endless options — and no handholds. Nothing that helped turn a hard question into a concrete model.

Hours to get to anything concrete.

Mapping a business problem. Designing a new flow. Untangling how a process actually works. The thinking wasn't slow — the tool was. Every board started from zero, unstructured, and getting to something you could act on regularly took hours.

The realization: the tool should make the first move.

"I didn't want a bigger toolbox. I wanted handholds — describe the problem, and the board drafts its own structure. My time should go into thinking, not arranging boxes."

So we built SketchMind.

Type what you're working on and a structured board appears in seconds — then it's yours to rearrange, handwrite on and present. Hours-to-concrete became minutes. And one rule guards every new idea since: does it keep SketchMind simple?

A lean team with a stubborn belief.

SketchMind is led by Jesse Simons (founder) and built by a deliberately lean team. Lean is a feature: it keeps the product focused, the pace honest and the distance between you and the people building it — zero.

And it feels nothing like a corporate machine. Working here is like building something with your best mates — or family: direct, loyal, and honest with each other, because the work deserves it.

We're funded by our users. That means we grow at the pace you help us grow.

Give anyone with an idea the fastest way to make it visible — so the thinking stays in the room, and doesn't disappear into the tool.

A world where explaining an idea visually is as easy as saying it out loud — for every company, teacher, student and solopreneur, anywhere.

In the open. On purpose.

Our roadmap is public, our changelog comes straight from our sprint board, and our numbers on the homepage are live. When something isn't good enough to ship, we say so — we'd rather switch a feature off than sell you something subpar.
