In this video, I break down 15 apps I think every startup should be using right now—basically a full modern stack from CRM to deployment to AI. I tested a ton of tools so you don’t have to, and I’m focusing on the stuff that actually saves time, keeps the team aligned, and helps you ship faster. The list covers the core ops layer (communication, email, shared inbox, docs), the build-and-ship layer (project management, hosting/deployment, website), plus the “make everything smoother” layer like automation, link tracking, and AI meeting notes. If you’re early-stage, my big takeaway is: pick tools that reduce coordination overhead and make your workflows obvious. I start with Attio as an AI-native CRM for startups, then go into Linear for product execution, Slack for team comms, and Vercel for getting your product live fast. From there I round it out with tools like Superhuman for email speed, Granola for AI meeting notes, Claude as an AI assistant, Dub for link management, Mercury for startup banking, Framer for a clean site, Google Workspace for the basics, Missive for a shared inbox, Polar for payments/billing, and Zapier to connect it all together.
