After only one year of business, Bismarck-based company CoSchedule has reached 2000 customers as of last week! CoSchedule, which was founded in September 2013 by Garrett Moon and Justin Walsh, is a social media editorial calendar for WordPress that allows users to schedule blog posts and social media on a unified drag and drop calendar.

Their goal is to simplify the process for users by having everything in one place. The most recent funding for CoSchedule was $500,000 angel fund investment on April 11, 2014. CoSchedule prices its services at $10 per month, per blog. They offer a 14-day free trial, and a complete refund if customers are dissatisfied. The results of using the program have been positive, according to the website. “Most of our users blog more, schedule more social media messages, and get more traffic because of CoSchedule,” it states. “It makes you a better blogger.”

As for founders Moon and Walsh, and the rest of the CoSchedule team, they said the celebrating has to be kept short.

“We kind of work through these things,” Moon said with a laugh. “We stop, everybody claps, maybe we have a beer. But then we get back to work.”

The work is clearly paying off! Cheers to CoSchedule and our neighboring startup community over in Bismarck on their rapid growth and success.
