About Us

Writely was founded by Sam Schillace, Claudia Carpenter, and Steve Newman. It was initially developed as a platform-independent word processor that could be accessed from any web browser. The company Upstartle was acquired by Google in March 2006, and Writely was subsequently integrated into Google Docs. The initial premise was to create a collaborative writing tool accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
