The Growth Stack Every Founder Needs In Their First Year

You don't need 30 tools. You need six. Here's the lean stack we recommend to every founder we onboard.

The average early-stage founder is paying for 20+ SaaS tools they don't use. Every hour spent switching between them is an hour not spent on the two things that actually matter: shipping product and talking to customers.

Our recommended year-one stack is deliberately boring: one CRM, one analytics tool, one email platform, one ad manager, one collaboration tool, one project manager. That's it.

We break down our exact recommendations, why we chose each one, and the specific setup that makes them work together without a full-time ops person.
