Plane Soars Higher with Sort Acquisition
With this acquisition, Plane officially expands to the United States, marking a pivotal moment in its evolution. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. In a bold move signaling its global ambitions, Plane—the open-source project management platform reimagining how modern teams collaborate—has acquired Sort, a US-based engineering team renowned for its AI-native enterprise systems. With this acquisition, Plane officially expands to the United States, marking a pivotal moment in its evolution. "Bringing the Sort team into Plane and expanding into the US are meaningful steps as we scale both our technology and our community," said Plane's CEO, Vamsi Kurama. "Our focus remains on building a platform that's not just open-core in principle, but also in practice—designed to give teams full ownership of their workflows, data, and future." The Sort team brings not only deep technical expertise in scalable software, but also a history of solving complex enterprise challenges with AI-driven architectures. By integrating this talent, Plane aims to accelerate its mission of delivering a customisable, secure, and transparent project management solution tailored for businesses navigating digital transformation. The move comes faster than expected—only 18 months after Plane secured USD 4 million in seed funding. Originally planned as a later-phase initiative, the expansion into California reflects mounting demand from North American enterprises for modern, self-managed project tools. Adding further momentum, Plane welcomes seasoned talent from industry leaders like PayPal, Elastic, and BitGo. Their collective experience in scaling developer-first products aligns with Plane's goal to build a unified Work OS that includes task management, wikis, timelines, and advanced security features. Already trusted by over 100,000 users, Plane is setting its sights higher. As Plane takes flight in the US, it's clear the future of project management is not just open—it's intelligent, flexible, and built for how teams truly work.

Stacey Solomon launches into rant over BAFTAs snub - 'I'm not taking it well'
Stacey Solomon revealed she was 'devastated' after losing out on a BAFTA TV Award for her BBC One show, Sort Your Life Out, as she went on a rant on social media Stacey Solomon admitted she was 'devastated' after losing out on a BAFTA TV Award over the weekend. Stacey was nominated for Entertainment Performance for her show, Sort Your Life Out, and the BBC One show was nominated for Factual Entertainment but lost out to Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour. The TV presenter returned to her social media this morning to share her heartbreak over losing out on an award. Rocking a Nike sweatshirt and blue shorts, the star shared an update while gardening, telling followers: "Good morning from the veg patch, about to do the morning water. We didn't win a BAFTA and I know I'm supposed to take it gracefully like a champ but I'll be honest I'm devastated." She added: "I'm not handling it very well, I'm not taking it very gracefully. I'm devastated for our whole team like I'm so gutted for our team. Everyone got dressed up and were really hopeful because I think because they work so hard. "It's not an easy show to make, Sort Your Life Out, and the team work so hard to make it happen and they so deserve a BAFTA. The Sort Your Life Out team deserve a BAFTA and I'm devastated. I'm not saying that everyone else didn't deserve their BAFTAs, they absolutely did. People think making TV is really easy and it's not so everyone deserves recognition but I'm just gutted for the whole Sort Your Life Out family because I do feel like they deserve a BAFTA, I'm going to say. I'm gutted." She went on to share the hard work involved in creating Sort Your Life Out. The team has seven days to pack up an entire house into a warehouse before it's laid out on the floor to be organised 'meticulously'. "We make sure it doesn't get chucked away. We donate, we recycle, we resell things and put it all back and put in systems to help families move forwards," Stacey explained. "The families give up so much to be on the show, they deserve that away. It's so hard to let someone into your house when you're going through a really difficult time and you know there's going to be people out there that will judge but you need the help also. "The families just..." she added before showcasing her frustration by shaking the hose around before laughing. Stacey gave a shoutout to the cast and crew of the show, telling them they're the "best people I know" before telling fans how proud she is to be part of the programme. "Rant over," she joked in the caption as she returned to her morning gardening. Along with the two Sort Your Life Out nominations, Loose Women - which has Stacey on as a panellist - was nominated for Daytime Award against Morning Live, Richard Osman's House of Games and Clive Myrie's Caribbean Adventure.
