Marq (formerly Lucidpress) is a web-based desktop publishing software application. Built on web standards such as HTML5 and JavaScript, Marq is supported in modern web browsers including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari. [1]
In October 2013, Lucid Software, Inc. announced Lucidpress as a public beta version. [2] Following its release, Lucidpress was featured in TechCrunch, VentureBeat and PC World, with TechCrunch noting: "I had a chance to test the app before its launch and it is indeed very easy to use. If you've ever used a desktop publishing app in the past, you'll feel right at home with Marq, as it features the same kind of standard top-bar menu and layout options as most other publishing apps. In terms of features, it can also hold its own against similar desktop-based apps." [3] [4]
In May 2015, Lucidpress hit 1 million users. [5] One year later in June 2016, Marq hit 2 million users and announced its Advanced Template Locking feature. [6]
In November 2016, Lucidpress announced its Print & Ship feature, by which users can order printed versions of the documents they create in Marq. [7]
In May 2021, Lucidpress announced that it had been acquired by Charles Thayne Capital ("CTC"), a growth-oriented and technology-focused private investment firm. [8]
In July 2022, Lucidpress officially rebranded to Marq. [9]
Lucid Software raised $1 million in Seed in 2011, led by Google Ventures. [10]
In May 2014, the company received a $5 million investment. The round was led by Salt Lake-based Kickstart Seed Fund. [11]
In September 2016, the company received a $36 million investment from Spectrum Equity, [12] whose previous investments include other online platforms such as Ancestry.com, Lynda.com, Prezi, and SurveyMonkey. Kickstart Seed Fund and Grayhawk Capital also participated in the round. [13]
