Organizational productivity suite for companies
OrgOrg is a suite of apps that keeps teams productive and healthy regardless of the size of your organization. Founded by the creator of Zenter (YC 07, acquired by Google and became Google Slides), OrgOrg is designed to be a natural extension of Google Workspace Apps to help run organizations collaborate better leading to higher productivity. Today the suite includes apps like: • Go links: Go links allows anyone in the org to easily name any link so team members can jump directly to the information that matters most: go/sales, go/production, go/anything-you-want. • Profiles with Personality: OrgOrg profiles are as insightful as they are delightful. They not only show you the expected org chart data, but also highlight accomplishments, how you like to work, and who you are as a person. • Goal tracking: Track, share, and collaborate on "big rock" goals on the cadence that makes sense for your team from daily to annually. • Branded New Tab: Keep the team focused the next major milestone, broadcast announcements, and keep important links top of mind every time a new browser tab is opened. • All Hands Q&A: Crowdsource questions, anonymously if desired, for large team meetings to make sure everyone's voice is heard, and the most top of mind questions are answered and recorded. • Smart Groups: Create rules based groups of people and use them to make sure the right people are in the right conversations and have the right access. For example, anyone with the title of "Software Engineer" should be in the #eng slack channel and eng@ google group. • On-call: Schedule smart rotations that take into account balancing the load and using signals from calendar schedules to make sure you don't waste time figuring out who can cover what in a fair way. Easily page the on-call from slack, API, or OrgOrg directly. • And more... All the tools you need so you can spend more time focusing on your core business, and less time focusing on the complexity that comes from running an organization.

TLDR;
We’re building all the internal operational tools you need to run your company, no matter the size. My first startup (Zenter YC W07), sold to Google and became Google Slides. We changed the way more than a billion people work, and I’m doing it again with OrgOrg. Try it here.
The Problem - There are too many SaaS pointwise solutions! Seriously.
The world over-rotated to point solutions in SaaS. It’s not unusual to have 20+ minor SaaS products to do various organizational chores. It’s easy to see why this happened because you need different tools at different sizes, but it’s also not what users want. It’s expensive, annoying to manage, and none of them work together to create a better user experience.
The Solution - OrgOrg!
OrgOrg draws on 25 years of experience leading high-performing teams from founding to big tech. We're building a suite with all the internal SaaS tools that you need for each stage of your company. You save money, time, and they all work together nicely.
For early stage companies, Go links, “Big Rock” Goal tracking, and branded New browser tabs (with countdowns to your next milestone — like Demo Day) are great ways to stay focused and efficient. For larger teams, add in Profiles with personality, Smart Groups (eg, add all engineers to the #eng channel & eng@ group), All Hands Q&A, and smart On-Call management to fight the problems that come with the complexity of larger teams. Our roadmap is full of high utility internal apps and tools that build on each to help you run your company better. No matter the size of your org, you can be confident that the right internal tools will be in place when you need them.
Just as no one buys Google Slides alone, buying just an All-Hands Q&A product isn’t enough. OrgOrg’s suite offers significantly more value than the sum of the parts of existing pointwise solutions. At $5/person/month, it's easy to get started and join over 400 organizations already using OrgOrg today.

Hear from the founders
How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
OrgOrg is the culmination of 25 years of being an operator. OrgOrg is the third company I’ve founded. My first, Zenter (YC S07), was acquired by Google and turned into Google Slide. I led much of the G Suite in the early days and grew the product to Google’s 4th billion dollar, and billion user product. As good as Google Workspace is as an employee productivity suite, it misses the mark as an organizational productivity suite. The tooling and applications needed to run organizations is largely missing from the suite. So, when I founded my second company in 2016, Humu, I found myself having to rebuild all the internal tools I’d come to rely on to run a productive organization. Things like great employee profiles, anonymous all hands Q&A software, go links, rules based groups of people, and about a dozen more tools and apps that are required run the organization were all absent from existing productivity suites. While there are point-wise solutions to solve some of these problems, it’s clear organizations need a suite of them that seamlessly operate together. In much the same way as the market for the employee productivity suite of docs, sheets and slides is larger than sum of the parts, so to is the market for an organizational productivity suite that brings the best tools together in a cohesive way.
What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?
OrgOrg is solving the problems that arise from organizational complexity, so we can all be more productive and have a bigger impact. I’ve always had a passion for making work better for people. I believe working is fundamental to the human experience. We have a natural propensity to come together and build things that are bigger than what we could do by ourselves. In it’s purest form, work gives us a sense of purpose and joy. However, as organizations add people and grow linearly, the complexity that comes from each addition team member grows exponentially. The added complexity of having to interact with more people causes inefficiencies in communication, reduced focus and velocity, and erodes the sense of purpose that is critical to building successful teams. These problems can be mitigated with the right tooling and technology. With the advent of AI, it’s clear we are on the brink of a change in the labor market as big as the industrial revolution. But, make no mistake, work isn’t going away — because humans will always find ways to work together. The companies that embrace the fundamental reasons why we work, and embrace the technology to help mitigate the challenges of working together, are going to be the ones that are successful. In 2007, with the advent of GSuite (Google Workspace), we fundamentally changed the way people work, and OrgOrg is going to do it again.
