A working app, not a template
What it is
A project tracker for a startup is a lightweight web app that keeps your roadmap, sprint work, and owners in one database so a small team can move fast without dropping things. It replaces the messy spreadsheet founders outgrow the moment more than two people are shipping.
What your startup project tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for startup.
Task
A concrete unit of work like 'Build signup flow' — small enough to finish in days, not a vague epic.
Owner
The single person accountable. In a lean startup where everyone wears many hats, one clear owner per task prevents diffusion of responsibility.
Status
Backlog / In progress / Review / Shipped — the flow from idea to live, so founders see momentum at a glance.
Priority
P0 / P1 / P2. In a startup with infinite ideas and finite hours, this is the field that enforces focus on what moves the needle.
Sprint
Which weekly or biweekly cycle the task is committed to, so the team commits to a realistic scope instead of an open-ended pile.
Effort Estimate
A rough size (S/M/L or days) so you don't overload a sprint and can spot when 'quick' tasks are secretly huge.
Roadmap Theme
The bigger goal it serves (Activation, Retention, Fundraise-ready) so daily tasks stay tied to strategy.
Blocker
What's stopping progress, made visible so a founder can unblock it fast — the difference between a 1-day and 2-week delay at startup speed.
Target Date
When it needs to land, tied to launch or investor commitments the team can't slip.
What good looks like for startup
One app, a view for everyone
Founder
Whether the team is on pace for the next milestone, what's blocked, and whether daily work maps to the roadmap themes that matter for growth or fundraising.
Team member
A focused list of what they own this sprint, clear priorities, and a fast path to flag blockers rather than staying stuck.

Frequently asked questions
Is this overkill for a 3-person startup?+
No — it's deliberately lightweight, closer to a shared spreadsheet with structure than a heavy PM tool. You describe the fields you want and get a clean tracker, without the setup overhead that makes small teams avoid tooling altogether.
Can we run sprints and see a roadmap in it?+
Yes. A Sprint field groups committed work into cycles, and a Roadmap Theme field ties each task to a strategic goal, so you get both a weekly view and a big-picture view from the same database.
Can we customize it as the team grows?+
Yes — because it's a real web app on its own database, you can ask for new fields, statuses, or views in plain language as your process matures. It grows with you instead of forcing you into a fixed template.
Does it integrate with GitHub or Linear?+
No, it doesn't sync with GitHub, Linear, or other dev tools — it's a self-contained web app where you track tasks directly. Early teams often prefer one honest source of truth everyone updates, rather than juggling integrations that drift out of sync.
