Why We’re Betting Big on Automation for Startups

One thing I’ve noticed working with early-stage founders:
they spend a lot of time doing repetitive manual work (spreadsheets, basic reporting, ops coordination).

That time could be used for sales, product or fundraising.

Some simple fixes I’ve seen make a big difference:

  • Automating repetitive workflows (no more manual data entry)
  • Building lightweight dashboards for real-time visibility
  • Using AI to handle routine tasks (support queries, lead enrichment, etc.)

It’s crazy how a small automation can save 10+ hours/week for a founder. Multiply that across the team and it becomes a game-changer.

Curious: what’s the most time-consuming repetitive task you’d love to get rid of in your startup?
