Stake
Early access

The personal CRM for individual contributors

Track every stakeholder on your projects. In a CRM that’s yours.

Stake keeps each project’s people, where each of them stands, and what you owe them next in one place — separate from your employer’s tools, so it goes where you go.

Track your first projectSee how it works

Free during early access. No credit card, no password — just your email.

Your projects run through people. Your tools only track the tasks.

  • “First I’m hearing of this” — in the review that was meant to be a formality.
  • The follow-up you promised in a hallway on Tuesday, remembered on Friday.
  • Everything you knew about who matters, left behind in your last job’s wiki.

How it works

One place for the people your work depends on

Projects, the stakeholders behind each one, and every follow-up you owe them — organised around how you work, not your company’s funnel.

Initiatives

See who’s on board, project by project

Every project gets a board of the people it needs — Stake calls them initiatives. Move each person from Not raised to Signed off, and see at a glance who’s supportive, who’s blocking, and who you haven’t spoken to yet.

  • Start from Buy-in or Rollout stages, or two plain columns
  • Track people one by one, or whole groups at once
  • The same person can sit on several initiatives

Follow-ups

Follow-ups that find you

Every follow-up is tied to a person and an initiative. Today opens on what’s overdue, what’s due, and the next seven days. And Stake lists everyone with nothing scheduled, longest untouched first — because the stakeholder who goes quiet is the one who blocks you in review.

  • Overdue, today, and the next seven days on one screen
  • Add a follow-up from any person in one step
  • Switch between yours and everything

Ask Stake

Ask in plain English. Confirm every change.

Ask who’s gone longest without hearing from you and get names, not a search screen. Paste your notes from a meeting and Stake proposes the updates — move Marcus to Supportive, add a follow-up for Friday. Nothing changes until you confirm it.

  • Answers from your own people, initiatives, and follow-ups
  • Proposes moves, notes, and follow-ups — never applies them unasked
  • Type @ to point it at a specific person

Yours

A CRM that’s yours, not your employer’s

Your company’s tools belong to your company. What you know about the people you work with belongs to you.

Not connected to company systems

Stake doesn’t plug into your company’s tools, and nobody at your company administers your account.

Goes where you go

Sign up with a personal email and Stake stays yours through the next project, the next team, and the next job.

FAQ

Before you sign up

I’m not in sales. Why a CRM?

Because your work runs on relationships too. Stake keeps the useful part of a CRM — the people, where each of them stands, what you owe them — and drops the selling. No deals, no pipeline, no quotas.

How is this different from Jira, Asana, or a spreadsheet?

Those track tasks your team shares, in tools your company owns. Stake tracks people: who needs to agree, where each of them stands, and when you last followed up. A spreadsheet can hold the names; it won’t tell you who’s gone quiet or what’s overdue.

What’s an initiative?

Stake’s word for a project: one piece of work and the people whose backing it needs, each at a stage you choose.

Can my employer see my Stake?

Stake isn’t connected to your company’s systems, and nobody at your company administers your account. Sign up with a personal email and it stays that way — see the next question.

Which email should I sign up with?

A personal one. Stake signs you in with a code sent to your email, so the account follows the inbox. A work inbox belongs to your employer, and you lose it when you leave.

What should I keep in Stake?

The people your work depends on, where each of them stands, and what you owe them. Keep your company’s confidential documents and data in your company’s tools.

What does the assistant see?

The people, initiatives, notes, and follow-ups in your Stake, when you ask it something. It proposes changes and makes none until you confirm each one.

What does it cost?

Nothing during early access. Paid plans will come later, and you’ll hear from us well before anything changes.
