Where we ran product, design and engineering, and where our advisor built and sold companies.
We spent our careers shipping products to hundreds of millions of users, making sure hundreds of developers built the right thing. Now your five developers build at that pace with coding agents, and there’s no product department behind them. So we built Grove for you.
The people behind Grove
Every one of us works directly with Grove’s founding customers.

Everything we know, built for you
Built into Grove
Every feature gets the questions a product department would ask. Does it fit the strategy? What should it do? Is it ready to build? Did what shipped match the plan? You get the answers without knowing the questions.
Alongside you
Your first feature is done with us, and the people on this page are on those calls. We built Grove with founding teams, and we still work with every one of them. When something’s unclear, you ask us, not a help center.
Where you work
Grove works from its app, from Claude or ChatGPT, and from your developers’ coding agents. It meets you where you already are, not in one more tab, and your developers keep their own tools.
Founder-led is a strength, not a phase
Most advice treats founder-led product as something to grow out of. We see it the other way around: nobody knows your market better than you, and what slows you down is everything around the bet. We’ve given it a name.
Wondering if it’s time for a product hire?
A first product manager is one of the hardest hires to get right. Grove comes before that hire and stays after it: you keep the bets, Grove carries the discipline, and whoever you hire starts with every decision and its reasons.
- Founders and CEOsWhen you’re the CEOEvery decision waits on you to explain it, gather feedback and write it up. Grove does that work and pulls you in only when a call needs you.Founders and CEOs →
- Technical founders and CTOsWhen you’re the CTOYou turn vague asks into specs, then answer every “did that ship?” Grove does both, vets each spec first, and never writes to your repos.Technical founders and CTOs →
