Hong Kong, June 11, 2007 – Team and Concepts Limited (TnC), makers of EditGrid, a leading provider of online collaborative spreadsheets, today announced the closing of a US$1.25M Series A financing with WI Harper acting as sole investor. In addition to a vast majority of the standard spreadsheet features, EditGrid provides online real-time group collaboration capabilities and easy integration with existing applications, combined with an easy-to-use interface and compatibility with a wide range of traditional spreadsheet formats.
EditGrid currently supports 500+ built-in functions (representing the vast majority of functions commonly used in Excel), and supports all major browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Maxthon without the need to install any third-party software. In addition, its real-time collaboration functionality allows workgroups to efficiently edit spreadsheets simultaneously and have changes be reflected in real time across all collaborators' screens, while being able to support multiple levels of undo and sophisticated user permission controls. Furthermore, EditGrid supports remote data functionality, allowing users to retrieve live data on the web to be used in various designated cells and calculations. EditGrid supports a wide variety of spreadsheet formats, including Excel, CSV, Gnumeric, OpenOffice.org, Lotus 1-2-3, and others.

We believe that this will allow EditGrid to become the best online spreadsheet available," said David Lee, Chairman and Co-founder of TnC.
