## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2021, Planera Inc. operates as a project management company that develops online whiteboard CPM software for construction enterprises. The company was founded by its CEO Nitin Bhandari, CTO Erik Swenson, Head of Customer Success Noor Lodhi, Product Advisor Saif Lodhi, and Wahid Tadros. In October 2025, Planera Inc. raised USD 8 million in venture funding co-led by returning investors Sorenson Capital, Sierra Ventures, Prudence, and Brick & Mortar Ventures.

Planera offers project scheduling software, which is a web-based digital whiteboard that allows construction companies to visually plan and organize their construction projects. The company’s corporate performance management (CPM) software analyzes construction plans and provides features like critical paths, filters, and floats, enabling the team to contribute to designing project schedules, like Google Docs. The firm’s client base includes Webcor Builders, California Engineering Contractors, Shimmick, Skanska, Bedrock International Group, and many more.

The company will use the September 2025 funding to enhance its data center platform.
