Our Story

Building the future of team productivity

We started Startly because we believe every team deserves tools that are powerful, beautiful, and accessible.

From side project to platform

In 2021, our founders were frustrated with the fragmented tooling landscape. Teams needed Slack for communication, Jira for tasks, Notion for docs, and a dozen dashboards for analytics. Nothing worked together seamlessly.

So they built Startly: a single platform where teams can collaborate, automate, and ship — all from one place. Today, 2,000+ teams across 40 countries trust Startly to move faster.
