Why now

When you're small, every employee is the whole company.

You started this because you saw something worth building. At your size the upside is huge, and the room for a wrong call is thin. Get the people decisions right and they compound. The same science the big players use, now built for a business your size.

Every person counts double

At ten or twenty people, two or three of the wrong people don't slow you down, they stall the whole company. The right ones build it.

You get to choose your village

The people you bring in early set the ceiling for everything after. Choose them well and they compound. The right early team is the biggest advantage a small business has.

You don't have an HR team

You're making people calls between everything else, with no specialist and no budget for enterprise tools. That's exactly the gap we're closing.

Good decisions, not guesswork

Hiring and culture shouldn't come down to gut feel. The same science the big players use, built for a business your size.

Questions

The honest answers.

What's the catch?

There isn't one. Six months free access, a discounted $1,000 onboarding, then you decide whether to stay. No lock-in and no auto-charge to catch you out.

Why is the onboarding not free too?

Because real people set you up and help you get the most out of the platform. The software is free, the human help is the one thing we ask you to invest in, and it's half the standard fee.

Who can apply?

Any business under 50 people. Tell us a little about you and we'll take it from there.

What happens after the 6 months?

You move to our normal rates and bundling, or you leave. We'll work with you on what makes sense for where you're headed.
