San Francisco -- Asana, the San Francisco-based developer of a shared task list web app for teams, said on Monday it has raised $28 million in a new round of funding to fuel the company's next phase of growth. New investors Peter Thiel and Founders Fund joined previous backers Benchmark, Andreessen-Horowitz and Mitch Kapor in the round, which the company will use to expand its roster of designers, engineers and other employees. Nine-month-old Asana's technology is designed to help teams plan, organize and better stay in sync. The company said that, in the past four months alone, the number of tasks tracked by its technology has doubled to 18 million.
