Project Management Software for Technology Startups in Zurich
A five-person Zurich startup working near Bahnhofstrasse's banks inherits the city's instinct for discretion, on a budget that can't stretch to a security team.
Discretion by default, at five people
Zurich's private banking and insurance industries have shaped how business here generally operates, understated, precise, allergic to anything that looks like oversharing. A startup founded in that environment tends to absorb the same instinct even at four or five people: who can see what should be a deliberate decision from day one, not something worked out later once there's a security incident to react to.
Most tools that take access control seriously are built and priced for a company that already has an IT or security function to manage it. A founding team doesn't have that person yet, and it can't afford software priced as if it did, on top of a cost of living that already makes every hire and every subscription expensive.
ShipSprint's Free plan covers 5 users and 2 projects, permanently, and every workspace is an isolated tenant from the very first plan, with two-factor authentication available to every user regardless of what they're paying. One subscription runs engineering, hiring, marketing and operations together, so a lean founding team isn't managing four separate access policies too.
A founder covering three roles at once, on top of Zurich's cost of living, needs the fastest possible read on what's urgent, not a full project to parse each morning. "My day" is that read: today's items, a one-tap time log, and a single tap to flag being blocked that pulls in help directly.
What an early Zurich startup actually needs
5 users and 2 projects, free permanently, not a trial that expires right as things start getting real.
Engineering, hiring, marketing and operations each keep their own board, all under one subscription with one set of access controls, rather than four separate policies to manage.
There's no configuration project or onboarding call required. A board is usable as soon as it's created, isolated tenant and two-factor authentication included from the start.
"Who approved this and on what basis" has a written answer in the wiki, with page history, rather than a founder's memory that gets less reliable with time.
"My day" is the default view rather than the full board: today's assigned items, a one-tap time log, and a tap to flag being blocked, routed to whoever can help without broadcasting it wider.
Isolation as the starting assumption, not an upgrade
A lot of software treats real access control as something a company grows into: a feature unlocked once it's big enough to need it, or once a client's vendor review forces the issue. ShipSprint treats isolation as the starting assumption instead. Every workspace is its own tenant from the first plan, and every administrative action, who was added, who changed a permission, gets written to a log automatically rather than reconstructed after the fact.
That matters for a founding team specifically, since an early hire or a contractor who was only ever meant to see one project is exactly the kind of access gap that a bigger company eventually notices during a review, and a startup would rather not carry that risk into its first real fundraise or client conversation.
ShipSprint is built by Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., registered in India. There's no Zurich office, no Swiss entity, and no claim of Swiss data residency or a banking-grade compliance certification. Billing is in rupees; check the current exchange rate and confirm VAT treatment with your own finance team before committing budget.
Discretion about who sees what doesn't extend to watching how anyone spends their day. Nothing here captures screenshots, logs keystrokes or tracks activity, whatever plan a workspace runs. A scorecard built from delivered work and hours logged by the person themselves, adjusted for leave, stays with that person alone.
