Edina-based Parallax helps digital services firms as they plan and juggle projects, with software that forecasts months out to determine how much staffing they’ll need. Jeff Eckerle took the helm in November 2024, and his vision is to make Parallax a trusted advisor in the AI era. Over the summer, Parallax put “AI agent” software into beta testing, intended for more general availability early 2026. They’re designed to assume “tasks that are just too hard or tedious,” Eckerle says. Launched in 2019 and serving 140 customers, Parallax has so far raised $23 million in Series B funding.
