The Opportunity

Problem

Bootstrapped founders waste hours on manual employee onboarding because HRTech tools lack intuitive interfaces and fail to integrate with indie tech stacks.

Solution

Generate customizable checklists and embed them as widgets on Carrd, Webflow, or Notion sites. New hires complete forms, get tool access links, and check off tasks in one place. Syncs progress back to your dashboard without leaving your stack.
