Overboard — The whiteboard that thinks with you.

Visual collaboration software — whiteboards, diagramming, async canvas tools — is a $2B+ market. Miro reached a $17.5B valuation. Mural, FigJam, and Lucidspark are all competing for the same enterprise whiteboarding budget.

Miro was founded in 2011 and built for a world where teams needed a shared digital surface. It solved the problem of "how do we collaborate on a canvas when we're remote?" really well. What it didn't solve — and what it can't solve without rebuilding — is "how does AI participate in our thinking, not just our canvas?"

Miro has AI features. They're add-ons: summarize the board, generate stickies, suggest groupings. They sit on top of a product designed around human interaction. Overboard starts from the other direction — what does a whiteboard look like when AI is a first-class participant in the session?

Overboard is an AI-first collaborative whiteboard. The AI isn't a sidebar feature — it's part of the canvas. It follows along, adds context, makes connections, challenges assumptions, and helps teams get to better thinking faster. It's what Miro would have built if they started today instead of 2011.

Miro is a great product. That's exactly why building Overboard makes sense. Miro proved there's a huge market for visual collaboration software. Their $17.5B valuation validated the category. And their 2011-era architecture means they can't rebuild themselves for an AI-native world.

AI in a whiteboard isn't a feature — it's a new product paradigm. A canvas where AI is a participant changes how teams brainstorm, how they structure ideas, how they document decisions. That's a different product from one where AI is a menu item.

The incumbent can't get there without breaking what they've built. Overboard has no such constraint. The canvas architecture, the AI integration, the pricing — all designed from scratch for a world where AI collaboration is the norm, not the exception.
