What's actually costing you money right now?
Skip the software categories. Find the thing that's going wrong, and we'll point you at what fixes it.
- Cash flow
You pay your vendors before your customers pay you
Bills fall due on net 15 while your invoices settle on net 45. Every month you cover the gap from working capital or an overdraft.
Pay bills free by bank transfer, or by card to keep cash longer — vendors still get a normal deposit.
- Visibility
You find out work is late when it's already late
Status lives in DMs and people's heads. Nobody can answer "where are we?" without calling a meeting to ask.
Put every request on one board where owner, status and date are visible without chasing.
- Follow-up
Leads go quiet instead of saying no
The second and third follow-up only happen when someone remembers. Everyone gets the same generic email.
Automate the follow-up so every lead gets an immediate, relevant response — and hot leads surface themselves.
- Workshops
Your best thinking dies in the meeting it happened in
The workshop goes well, then the output becomes a photo of sticky notes nobody revisits. Next quarter you have the same conversation.
Run sessions on a shared canvas that people can contribute to live or afterwards, and come back to later.
- Retention
Customers buy once and you never hear from them again
Carts get abandoned, first-time buyers never return, and nobody notices when a good customer goes quiet.
Automated flows that recover carts, follow up after purchase and win customers back.
- Shipped blind
You ship code your assistant wrote and you never read
It compiled, so it merged. Nobody checked whether the API key ended up in the browser bundle, or whether that endpoint confirms the record belongs to the person asking for it.
Every pull request reviewed line by line before it merges, in plain English — free on public repos.
- Meetings
You take notes in meetings and never write them up
Three words and a number, typed while half-listening. A fortnight later nobody can say what was agreed or who owed what.
Your own notes finished from your laptop's audio, with the follow-ups pulled out — and no bot joining the call.
- Startup credits
You're burning cash on infrastructure you could get free
Paying full price for cloud, email, docs and analytics that have six-figure credit programmes you never applied to.
Startup credit programmes worth up to $350,000 — eligibility and application links for each.
- Software costs
You're overpaying for software you already decided on
You picked the tool, then paid list price because finding a real discount meant wading through dead coupon sites.
Verified deals checked by an editor before publishing — no fake codes, no expired links.
- Subscriptions
Every tool you need has a subscription attached
Six SaaS bills for things that used to be one-off purchases, and the total climbs every quarter.
Open-source alternatives you can self-host, scored on live GitHub health so you can tell thriving from abandoned.
- Fundraising
You're raising and cold-emailing the wrong funds
Hours spent on investors who don't fund your stage, sector or geography — and no reply to show for it.
1,000 VC firms, accelerators and corporate VCs, filterable by stage, sector and country.
- First tools
You don't know which tools to start with
Every category has forty options and every review site says all of them are the best.
Ready-made stacks curated for your stage — from launching on $0 to scaling globally.
- Choosing tools
You're stuck between two tools and can't decide
Both look identical on the feature grid, and every comparison you find was written to sell one of them.
Head-to-head comparisons with the trade-offs stated, and an honest answer on which fits which team.
- Billable hours
You can't tell where your billable hours actually went
Timesheets get reconstructed from memory on Friday, and the invoice is a best guess.
Time trackers compared on what each free tier really gives you, for billing and for understanding your week.
- SEO
Nobody finds your site on Google
You publish, and nothing happens. Paid SEO tools cost more than the traffic would be worth right now.
15 free SEO tools with the exact free limit of each, so you know what you get before signing up.
- Global hiring
Hiring or paying people in another country
You've found the right person and now need to work out who legally employs them, and how payroll works there.
A buyer's guide to HR, payroll and global platforms — including when you need an EOR rather than an HRIS.
Start with the deals — every offer is checked by an editor, so you see what a fix costs first.
