Everything You Need in Your Startup Toolkit

The essential guide for starting your Startup.

‍

When it comes to starting a business, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But, there are some essential tools and apps that all startups need. Here’s a rundown of the most important ones:

‍

Project Management/Organization

Project management tools are essential for keeping track of projects and tasks. They help you stay organized and on top of deadlines, which is crucial for any startup. There are many different project management tools available, so be sure to find one that suits your needs.

‍

Notion is the ultimate workspace platform, perfect for collaboration, individual contributors, top-down project management, or data collection. If you’re a business with employees all over the world, or even in-person, it's smooth and easy to work with, and makes asynchronous work a breeze.

‍

G-Suite also goes without saying. Gmail can host your personal and team emails, Google Calendar streamlines your scheduling needs, Google Meets hosts team meetings, and so much more.

‍

Accounting Software

As a startup, you’ll need to track your finances closely as you grow and scale. There are tools that will help you track expenses, income, and profits, which is essential for making sound financial decisions for your business. Accounting software such as Gusto, Rippling, or Xero can help you do this effectively and efficiently.

‍

Team Communication

To communicate with team members on the go – and all across the globe – the importance of proper communication tools can not be understated. Platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams have grown in popularity in recent years, and with good reason.

‍

Talent Growth

Talent growth is one of the most overlooked areas when it comes to building a company. After all, startup founders are often too busy focusing on a litany of day-to-day tasks. But, professional development turns an ordinary startup team into a fast-moving and highly-engaged group. Investing in talent growth will have long-lasting effects on your team’s performance, engagement, and results.
