Boardbox

For founders running the whole company

Not backed by Y Combinator

Launch the whole thing from one conversation.

Boardbox already knows your company. Describe what you’re launching, and one Initiative designs the screens, builds the code, prepares the sales outreach, writes the email and cuts the video. Then it keeps deciding where the next hour and the next dollar should go.

  • Design
  • Build
  • Product
  • Sales
  • Growth
  • Video
  • Operations

All in one workspace, running on the Claude Code or Codex plan you already pay for.

You’d never run a company where nobody talks to each other. Your AI tools already do.

When design, engineering, marketing, sales and support each work alone, a launch gets pulled in five directions. A stack of single-purpose AI tools works the same way, with a separate subscription for each one.

Six tools, six islands

Six subscriptions
Designin a design tool

Draws a dashboard with a location switcher.

Doesn’t know: Engineering scoped permissions differently yesterday.

Engineeringin a coding agent

Builds location access from a spec in a chat that has since closed.

Doesn’t know: The design changed twice.

Contentin a video generator

Renders the launch video from last week’s screens.

Doesn’t know: The dashboard was redesigned on Tuesday.

Marketingin an ad optimizer

Raises the Meta budget because click-through is up 18%.

Doesn’t know: Sales is booked solid through Friday.

Salesin a CRM

Pitches group billing to 40 restaurant groups.

Doesn’t know: Group billing slipped to next sprint.

Supportin a help desk

Hears about the launch from a confused location manager.

Doesn’t know: There was a launch.

You are the only thing connecting them: re-explaining the company, re-stating the tone, and carrying files from one tool to the next.

One Initiative

Your Claude Code or Codex plan
DesignDraws the dashboard from your design system. You approve one exact version.
BuildBuilds that version, and asks you who should be allowed to export payroll.
VideoCuts the launch video from the screens you approved.
GrowthHolds the ad budget while sales is at capacity.
SalesPitches what actually shipped, to groups it researched this morning.
OperationsAnswers the first manager question with the permission design it helped write.

One plan, one memory of the company, and every capability working toward the same result.

One Initiative, start to finish

Watch Tablebird launch for restaurant groups.*

Tablebird makes scheduling software for restaurants. This is one launch, from the first message to the numbers two weeks later, and it never leaves the Initiative.

  1. Initiatives1 of 11

    It starts as one conversation.

    Ava describes the launch once: restaurant groups, one dashboard across every location, 15 paying groups by the end of November. The Initiative asks what it needs to, then drafts the plan for every part of the company, with that outcome written into it.

  2. Library2 of 11

    The company is already explained.

    The Initiative already knows who Tablebird sells to, how it writes and what it has decided, and so does every capability it calls after this.

  3. Design3 of 11

    The screens come back into the conversation.

    Design Studio draws the group dashboard from Tablebird’s own components, checked against the rule that managers only see their own locations. Ava approves one exact version, and that version is the one that gets built.

  4. Build4 of 11

    Built from the version she approved.

    A coding session on Ava’s own Claude Code or Codex plan builds it in the real repo, and stops when a decision is hers, like who should be allowed to export payroll.

  5. Product5 of 11

    The roadmap updates itself.

    Every task the launch creates, from the invite flow to the launch email, lands on the backlog under the Initiative. The rest of the company can see what is being built, and why.

  6. Sales6 of 11

    The funnel runs alongside the build.

    The Initiative builds the restaurant-group audience, researches 20 new groups every morning, and prepares every conversation with what the launch actually includes, so each pitch matches what shipped.

  7. Growth7 of 11

    One launch, told the same way everywhere.

    The website page, the email to existing customers, the social posts and the ads come from the same plan in the same voice, and go out the day the product does.

  8. Video8 of 11

    The launch video, cut from the real screens.

    Scripted from the approved design and generated scene by scene on Tablebird’s own video key, in the same workspace as the rest of the launch.

  9. Automations9 of 11

    It keeps working after launch day.

    The Initiative sets up its own agents. One finds the next groups to call at 6:00. Another reads every signup, demo and support case and has a report on Ava’s desk by 7:00.

  10. Observe10 of 11

    Every channel judged against the same goal.

    Groups on paid plans, demos by source, cost per demo, all measured against the 15 groups in the plan. When referrals beat paid ads, it proposes where the budget should go next.

  11. Operations11 of 11

    Support already knows about the launch.

    When a location manager asks why they can’t see another location, the reply explains the permission design, because support works from the same Initiative that designed it.

Day 14 of the launch

An Initiative judges every channel against the outcome you asked for.

It planned the sales funnel, the content and the ads together. Some weeks that means spending more on ads, and some weeks organic is doing the job and the budget should come home.

It’s right about the ads. It has never heard of the sales calendar, the referrals or the goal.

Referrals and organic are carrying the launch, and sales is booked through Friday. Meta is buying demos at $412 that nobody can take this week. Proposed: pause Meta, move the launch video into organic, and ask the six paying groups for owner referrals.

AdjustApprove

Every capability reads the same company.

When you correct a fact, every Initiative and every capability it calls works from the correction.

  1. 1

    Your company

    Who you sell to, what you offer, and the decisions you have already made.

  2. 2

    Your voice

    How you write, so every page, email, post and support reply sounds like you.

  3. 3

    Your design system

    The tokens, assets and fonts in your code, so new screens look like your product.

  4. 4

    Your codebase

    The working folders you pick on your Mac, read before anything is designed or built.

  5. 5

    Your customers

    Support conversations, sales records and what each group has been promised.

  6. 6

    Your numbers

    The metrics you connect, with the definitions and dates behind them.
