Goals and OKRs

OKR software for startups

Set company objectives, give each key result an owner and see progress from the work behind it, in one simple workspace.

Start free

Free plan, no card needed. Or book a demo.

Start with one goal

Early-stage teams do not need a goal-setting framework with twenty objectives. They need one clear goal for the quarter, two or three numbers that prove it, and a weekly moment to check.

startbuddi keeps goals in the same place as your projects and tasks, so a key result can move when the work behind it is done. Numbers like revenue and new signups can fill in from Money Manager, Contacts and Forms.

Questions people ask

What is an OKR?
An objective (the goal you want) plus a few key results that measure it. In startbuddi you write the goal, then add key results as numbers, percentages, amounts or yes/no.
How many OKRs should a startup have?
Fewer than you think. One company objective per quarter with two or three key results is a good start.
Can goals connect to projects?
Yes. Link a project to a goal, or build the tree on the strategy map. Key results can then move from tasks or milestones.
Is it free?
Goals live in Work, which is on Free. Check-ins drafted by Chip use Chip credits, and Free includes 50 a month.

Set one goal this quarter and see it move.
