Grant context

Company profile, prior answers, research, and files indexed.

One place to run the company

The operating layer between messy startup conversations and finished work.

Crux should feel like your team room, project desk, grant-writing memory, and admin cockpit in one fast workspace. The goal is not another tab. It is the system that remembers what the team already decided.

Team chat

Channels, DMs, files, pins, read state, reactions, and AI summaries stay tied to the work.

Planning boards

Tasks, milestones, blockers, assignments, and AI-generated plans move straight from conversation.

Grant engine

Company memory, shared resources, market research, and previous answers become grounded grant drafts.

Startup ops

Purchases, feedback, intern logs, reminders, and admin controls live beside the daily operating rhythm.

AI grounded in company data

Every answer gets better because the whole workspace becomes context.

Grant applications stop starting from blank pages. Agents can pull from chats, files, board tasks, research requests, intern updates, purchase reasoning, and the company profile with access checks enforced server-side.

1

Collect

Messages, files, answers, market notes, tasks, reminders, and decisions land in one database.

Secure by design

Built for sensitive startup work, not casual group chat.

Crux holds grant strategy, financial requests, research, and private team decisions. The landing page now reflects that seriousness: focused, secure, and operational.

Google OAuth and invite-gated access

Role-aware admin controls and blocked-user handling

Audit-ready activity history for sensitive operations

Server-side access checks before AI or data retrieval

Sell the product as the startup workspace that remembers everything.

The next product slices should turn this landing promise into the app: faster realtime, richer project views, grounded AI retrieval, and polished mobile notifications.
