Tekkr's mission is to empower tech leaders and their teams to achieve their full potential
We are passionate technology leaders. Our vision is to create a world where every tech organization has the playbooks, knowledge and tools to innovate, scale, and lead in their industry, driving technological advancement and positive global impact.
Why it matters to us
Software can help address the world’s biggest challenges from climate crisis to inefficiency in governments. However, many companies and teams are bogged down by inefficiencies and struggle to develop technology effectively. Tekkr’s mission is to empower tech leaders and their teams to achieve their full potential!
Today tech leaders – think CTOs – often want to give more autonomy to their teams to empower them to navigate the dominant VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) environment in tech. However, most organisations lack the required capabilities and thus teams often remain less autonomous and much less effective than desired. In addition teams are bogged down by a lot of inefficient administrative work, stakeholder management and organisational processes.
This situation leads to overworked tech leaders and companies struggling to communicate on tech progress, missing deadlines frequently and failing to deliver on their innovative agendas. The skills and talents of tech workers are often not used in the best possible way leading to unhappy individuals and under-performing teams. With Tekkr that is about to change!
Scaling tech organizations effectively is hard and only 20% of startups make it from Seed to Series C
Tech leaders who raise VC-money need to scale everything fast. But fast growth is challenging. 3x revenue growth expectations require growing up from a strong small team of tech contributors into a high performing tech organization. However, many tech leaders make the same type of mistakes.
“After Series A, we lost more than 9 months through avoidable mistakes in building our tech organization, processes and team.”
Founders of VC-backed startups have big visions and limited time. 18 to 24 months of runway can pass by quickly and more than 80% of startups don’t make it from Seed to Series C. Hitting required business outcomes depends on tech leaders. Tech teams must keep up with delivering the needed technology to innovate, scale and satisfy customer needs.
Tekkr enables tech leaders to build unicorn-level tech teams faster with battle-tested playbooks
Tekkr has collected the shared wisdom of startup-to-unicorn tech-leaders into Tekkr Playbooks. Playbooks are a pre-built digital version of these best-practices, which you can easily tailor to your company-specific environment. The Tekkr B2B Saas platform then guides you through all steps required to get the Playbook implemented in your company: aligning your playbook with key stakeholders, communicating the changes across the organization, and then tracking its effectiveness.
As a tech leader, you can either personally lead initiatives or leverage Tekkr to enable your top performers to independently drive improvements. Tekkr streamlines workflows and provides your team with the tools and guidance they need, reducing your direct involvement and saving you time. This allows you to focus on strategic priorities while your team takes ownership of continuously improving operations.
How to Get Started – Tekkr delivers Value from Minute One
Starting with Tekkr is extremely simple and focused on delivering value to you from the first minute. You book a demo call and we jointly identify a burning issue for your tech organization. Then you will adjust a Tekkr playbook to your specific startup needs, assisted by tech-industry veterans. From here you can either start implementing the Playbook yourself or let Tekkr help you implement even faster.
