“Partnering with StartHQ’s Executive Assistant team has been a huge boost to both my productivity and focus. They quickly implemented a streamlined process for my inbox, calendar, and task lists that has freed me from time-consuming admin, allowing me to concentrate on the strategic priorities that move our business forward. The team are highly experienced and have integrated seamlessly into our operations — so much so that we’re already looking at how they can contribute to other areas of the business. What I also value is the flexibility of the service: we can scale support up or down depending on what the business needs at any moment. StartHQ have become an indispensable partner in helping us operate more effectively.” – Dan Roland, Founder & CEO, Katalyst

“Quite simply, StartHQ makes every day easier. They lift the admin load off our shoulders so we can focus on growing the business. Invaluable.” – Ian Hoy, Founder & Managing Director, Tide Insurance
