Built for you

The AI stack built for the founder's office.

Board prep, strategic projects, exec productivity, and cross-functional reporting — without a dedicated ops hire.

Chief of staff at a 150-person growth-stage company is the job that changes shape every week. One week it's building the Q3 board deck from data pulled out of HubSpot, QuickBooks, and five functional leaders' Google Docs. The next it's running point on a pricing overhaul, coordinating exec offsite logistics, auditing OKR progress across engineering and sales, or being the one person who actually reads the investor updates before the CEO signs them. Your stack is a patchwork — Notion for docs, Slack for everything, Google Calendar and Gmail for exec logistics, HubSpot and QuickBooks for numbers, whatever BI tool the last analyst left behind. The problem isn't any single tool; it's that you are the glue between all of them. Starch doesn't replace Notion, Slack, or your CRM. It connects to them (Notion, Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, HubSpot, QuickBooks all as Tier 1 direct integrations) and lets you build the board-prep tracker, the OKR dashboard, the strategic-project tracker, and the exec-brief generator as natural-language apps on top of a single connected dataset.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to replace Notion, Slack, or our CRM to use Starch?
No. Notion, Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, and HubSpot are all Tier 1 direct integrations — Starch syncs data from them on a schedule. Outlook and QuickBooks are also Tier 1. Your existing docs and comms tools stay; Starch builds the cross-functional trackers, dashboards, and briefs on top of data that currently lives in five places.
Are there pre-built apps for chiefs of staff?
Yes — not a single 'chief of staff' starter pack, but most of a CoS's recurring work maps to existing apps. Investor Reporting drafts board updates from live QuickBooks, Stripe, and Plaid data. Scenario Analysis handles the budget and headcount models the CFO asks you to run. Runway Analysis and Spend Insights answer cash-and-burn questions before they come up. Meeting Notes, Presentation Agent, and Email Triage cover exec productivity. The custom work — board-prep trackers, OKR dashboards, strategic-project status — is natural-language-authored on top.
Can Starch help with board prep?
Yes. Investor Reporting pulls live financials from QuickBooks, Stripe, and Plaid. You describe the rest of the deck sections — 'pull the latest GTM metrics from HubSpot, product usage from Amplitude, and the OKR tracker from Notion into the standard deck layout' — and Starch drafts it. Presentation Agent turns the draft into slides. The 4-day scramble becomes a half-day review.
How does this handle cross-functional OKRs and strategic projects?
You describe the tracker ('pull OKRs from the Notion database, status from Linear or Asana, and budget burn from QuickBooks') and Starch builds a dashboard with live data and an auto-drafted exec summary each Monday. It pings owners in Slack when key results slip. Instead of chasing function leads for updates, the updates come to you.
Can it help with the CEO's calendar and inbox?
Calendar Management (Google Calendar + Calendly, both Tier 1) handles scheduling, prep-time blocking, and meeting briefs. Email Triage reads the CEO's Gmail, surfaces high-priority threads, and drafts replies in the CEO's voice for your review. You can describe additional rules — 'flag any email mentioning the Series B round' — and Starch runs them continuously.
Is this secure enough for exec-level data?
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and connections use OAuth with scoped access — Gmail, Calendar, and Notion are read-first unless you grant write. Honest note: Starch is not SOC 2 Type II certified yet, and there's no on-prem option. For most growth-stage companies this is comparable to existing tools' posture; if you're post-Series C or handle particularly sensitive data, flag that during beta signup.
