Startups

SmartSuite for startups

The AI-native work platform for GRC, IT, projects and business operations. Run product, customers and hiring in one place from day one, and keep the same platform as you scale.

Why one platform

One platform from first plan to scale

Plans, roadmaps, customers, hiring and investor updates live in one connected workspace. SmartSuite adapts as the company changes. There is no rebuild after the next round, and no migration when the first enterprise buyer asks for a security review.

Build the Product, Not the Tool Stack

Founders should spend their hours on customers and product, not on stitching tools together. Databases, documents, automations, dashboards and AI sit in one platform. The Team plan is $15 per seat per month billed annually, with a minimum of 3 billable users.

Product requirements with features, use cases and test cases linked to each release

Ship the First Release From a Template

Start from templates for requirements, use cases, designs and test cases, then change any field to fit how the team builds. Every feature links to its spec, its tests and its release.

Release dates, owners and blockers stay visible to the whole team, so the launch date is a plan rather than a hope.

Feature requests scored by customer votes and business value, sorted for the next sprint

Turn User Feedback Into the Roadmap

Capture feedback from forms, support tickets and calls in one table. Score each request by customer demand and long-term value, and link the winners straight to roadmap items.

Quarterly goals with owners, progress bars and the projects linked to each objective

Set Goals the Whole Team Can See

Write monthly and quarterly goals once and link every project to the goal it serves. When priorities shift, the team sees the change the same day and knows what to set aside.

Startup KPI dashboard with user growth, recurring revenue, support tickets and release progress

Track the Numbers Investors Ask About

Dashboards pull live figures from the work itself: user growth, acquisition, monthly and annual revenue, release plans, support volume and campaign results. Nobody rebuilds the board deck from spreadsheets.

Sales pipeline by stage with account owner, deal value and expected close date

Find Customers and Close the First Deals

Plan personas, campaigns and brand assets next to the sales pipeline. Track target accounts, leads, opportunities and renewals in the same platform, so marketing and sales work from one set of numbers.

Hiring pipeline with candidates by stage, interviewer and target start date

Make Every Early Hire Count

Every early hire changes how the company works. A shared hiring plan and structured interviews keep each decision consistent, even when the founders run every interview.

Templates cover hiring plans, job descriptions, salary ranges, candidate interviews, onboarding, evaluations and personnel files.

Fundraising tracker with investors by stage, last contact and next step

Run the Fundraise Like a Pipeline

When the company raises outside capital, track every investor conversation, data room document and follow-up in one place. Investor updates draw on the same dashboards the team uses every week.
