The mess

What startupsdeal with today.

  1. 01

    The team is small, but the tool pile already looks like a Series B stack.

  2. 02

    Every new hire means another seat fee in Asana, Slack, Zoom, and docs.

  3. 03

    Founders lose context bouncing between boards, chat, and meetings.

  4. 04

    Nobody has time to configure a bloated Work OS before the next launch.

What you get

How SaneHQfits startups.

  • One workspace for the company

    Projects, chat, calls, and docs live together so product, ops, and founders share the same source of truth.

  • Tier-based pricing that scales sanely

    Free for up to 5 members, then Pro and Business with clear limits. Your bill does not multiply with every hire the way per-seat tools do.

  • Defaults over dashboards

    List, board, calendar, and Gantt without weeks of setup. Start shipping on day one.

  • AI with real context

    Sane AI works from your projects and conversations, not a generic chatbot bolted on the side.

Why it fits

Built forstartups.

Ship the company without assembling a Work OS first. Projects, chat, calls, docs, and AI stay in one calm place so the team can move without assembling another tool stack.

A day with SaneHQ

How startupsactually use it.

  1. 01

    Morning stand-up in the project channel

    Open the board, skim blockers in chat, and jump on a quick call without leaving SaneHQ.

  2. 02

    Ship in list or board view

    Owners, priorities, and due dates stay visible while the team moves work forward.

  3. 03

    Capture decisions in docs

    Specs and notes sit next to the tasks they affect, so context does not leak into another app.

  4. 04

    Ask Sane AI before you dig

    Pull status, owners, and next steps from project context instead of hunting through threads.
