In an early-stage company, every hour a founder spends on admin is an hour not spent on customers, product or fundraising. A startup virtual assistant absorbs the operational load without adding a full-time salary.
Executive Support for Founders
- Inbox triage and calendar management across investors, customers and candidates
- Investor and board meeting prep: agendas, data-room updates, follow-ups
- Travel for conferences and customer visits
- Research on prospects, partners and competitors
Product and Engineering Operations
A Website & Tech Assistant keeps the product machine running: triaging bug reports from support, writing clear reproduction steps, keeping Jira boards and sprints current, labeling GitHub issues, coordinating beta testers and drafting release notes. Agile teams use them as a scrum coordinator to run stand-up notes and sprint reports.
Customer Success and Support
- Onboarding new users with welcome emails and setup calls
- Tier 1 support tickets and in-app chat
- Monitoring churn signals and booking check-in calls for your CSM
- Moderating your Slack or Discord community
No-Code and Internal Tools
Assistants who know Notion, ClickUp, Airtable, Zapier and Make build your internal wiki, onboarding checklists and automations, so processes live in systems instead of in founders' heads. See our guide to AI and automation assistants.
Pricing
Website & Tech Assistant packages start at $360 a month for 20 hours; Executive Assistant packages start at $320. Many startups combine a 40-hour executive package with a 20-hour tech package. See Website & Tech packages.
