https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/09/project-management-service-zenhub-raises-10m-as-it-goes-beyond-github/ > Zenhub got its start in 2014 as a project management service for developers that was deeply integrated with GitHub. While the company has expanded its feature set over the years, users always needed a GitHub account to use it, even as its user base expanded beyond the original developer audience to include non-technical users on marketing, customer and product teams, for example. Until now, those users needed GitHub accounts, too, at an additional cost for the employers; starting today, Zenhub users won’t need a GitHub license anymore. The company, which is also announcing a $10 million Series A funding round led by Vancouver, Canada’s Yaletown Partners, is launching Zenhub Issues today, its new issue management experience that will allow non-technical users to create issues and track projects within the service — all without a GitHub account. > As Zenhub co-founder Aaron Upright told me, this doesn’t mean the company is moving away from GitHub — that’s still very much the core of what it does. “We’re moving away from GitHub as a platform, but we’re now providing an independent way on top of GitHub issues for teams to create tasks and manage and track work,” he explained.
