For lean nonprofits
Speed keeps track of what is due, asks the right person for it, and follows up when they go quiet. You get your week back. Your team reviews every document and makes every decision.
Less paperwork. More mission.
01 / How Speed works
Staff and outside participants keep using ordinary email. Speed connects what is needed, the people, dates, who replied, who went quiet, and the questions that need a person. No one has to live in another system.
A person reviews that list before any follow-up begins.
Speed sends the agreed request, records a reply or silence, and follows up inside the timing rules your team set.
Speed reports what happened and raises questions. A person decides what the information means.

02 / Real work
The same follow-up, over and over, no longer falling on the same busy people.
Dana manages two funders, each with their own reporting schedule. Report dates are buried in old grant agreements.
Logs the date and owner, asks three weeks out, and follows up on silence.
Dana reviews the gathered inputs, finishes the report, and decides when it is ready to submit.
Marcus runs a youth program. Dozens of volunteer clearances expire on different dates, and a new season is about to start.
Sends one configured instruction, records each reply, and flags the people still silent after the agreed limit.
Marcus reviews the short flagged list and decides who can participate.
Joan is a part-time bookkeeper managing grant finances alongside everything else. Quarterly checkpoints arrive on their own schedule.
Requests the agreed exports on schedule and keeps the response history together.
Joan and leadership review the actual numbers and decide whether anything needs attention.
Speed works just as well when the only person involved is you.
Dana is the only person who tracks the organization’s three facility leases. Renewal notice windows are buried in different documents, and missing one can erase negotiating leverage.
Reads each lease, extracts the renewal notice dates, and reminds Dana with enough lead time to act.
Dana reviews the terms and decides whether to renew, renegotiate, or begin looking for a new space.
Dana personally owns the reporting relationship with two funders. Each grant has its own schedule, interim deadlines, and fiscal checkpoints.
Extracts every deadline, puts them on one calendar, and follows up with Dana before each one is due.
Dana prepares and submits the report. Speed made sure she saw it coming.
What Speed does
Speed coordinates the people, deadlines, and follow-up across your entire obligation calendar and keeps the record together.
Focus on the important work
Your documents stay yours
Speed never holds a copy. Your originals stay in your inbox. Speed keeps only a record of what was requested, what came back, and where to find the original if you need it.
Founder note
I was trained as an accountant, built and sold a technology company, and now help run a lean nonprofit. Across those settings, important work kept living in email threads, PDFs, spreadsheets, and memory. Speed is the assistant I wanted in my own inbox.

Common questions
No. The working surface is email. Staff and outside parties reply to ordinary messages, including numbered choices when useful.
No. Speed scans the document, pulls out what matters, discards the working copy, and keeps only a pointer back to your source.
No. Speed shows what was written, what came back, what was missing, and any question that needs attention. A person makes every judgment.
No. Grants are a common starting point, but the same follow-up covers clearances, insurance, leases, filings, staff credentials, and outside-party documents.
Yes. Speed is powerful when you are coordinating many people and many documents, but even a single obligation has expiration dates and renewal windows that need tracking. Speed watches those dates for you and follows up on schedule, so you do not miss an important deadline. If it has a date and a requirement, Speed handles it.
