Kartib vs Google Sheets
You probably run your startup from a spreadsheet right now. You are not alone. Most founders do. But there is a reason your runway number is two weeks stale and your investor follow-ups are falling through the cracks.

The Bottom Line
Spreadsheets are not going anywhere. You will always need them for custom models and one-off analyses. But your startup operating system should not be a spreadsheet. The runway number that determines whether your company lives or dies should not depend on a formula you wrote at 2 AM that nobody has audited.
Kartib handles the recurring stuff: metrics, investor pipeline, cap table, OKRs, updates. Use spreadsheets for the one-off stuff.
