this+that for startup founders, CEOs, and executives
The ops team you haven’t hired yet.
Bigger companies pay people to make sure nothing slips. They answer the quote request within the hour, catch the customer who’s about to cancel, and make sure every promise made in a thread gets kept. At your company, that’s you, in between everything else. this+that reads every message the moment it arrives, turns what it asks for into tasks, keeps your contacts current, and gives your team a brain to work from.
At your size, the founder is the ops team
Your messages hold investor follow-ups, customer escalations, contracts waiting on a signature, and teammates waiting on your decision. The line that matters is often twenty replies deep in a thread you skimmed this morning.
What those messages say rarely gets recorded anywhere else. A customer’s new billing contact is in their email signature, and the date you promised a partner is in a Slack thread. At a bigger company, operations and customer success staff copy that into the CRM, the task list and the wiki. At yours, nobody has that job, so the next person who needs it asks you.
Every request in every message becomes a task with an owner
It does the reading so you can stop
DoBox works through everything that lands on you, the investor email and the long customer threads and the Slack your team fires off all day, and pulls out every task buried in there. You never go looking. The ones you would have missed at 11pm are already on the list, and tapping any of them drops you back into the message it came from, context attached.
Handoffs
Assign a task to a co-founder or team lead right from the task view. The conversation goes with it, so whoever picks it up starts with everything you knew.
What rises and what sinks
An investor follow-up climbs to the top. So does a customer escalation, or a legal deadline that is closer than you thought. The low-stakes noise settles out of your way until you decide you want it back.
The admin work that was eating your day, handled automatically

The work a bigger company pays people to do
Plenty of tools help one person get through email faster. this+that takes on the work that follows from it. DoBox turns what your messages ask for into tasks and routes each one to a person or a workflow. Contacts builds your address book from the channels you connect and updates names, titles and phone numbers as new messages arrive.
The Brain holds what your company knows, from how you price to who owns which customer. Workflows draw on it as they run and write what they learn back to it, so the next answer starts from the last one.
