Key Takeaways:

  • 5–10 Hours Saved Weekly: Time reallocated from operational tasks to product development and sales.
  • Eliminated Mental Load: Freed up brain space from a long backlog of administrative tasks.
  • Expert Operational Support: Chore brought best practices and deep operational expertise.
  • Seamless End-to-End Management: From compliance to onboarding, Chore handled all back-office needs.

Testimonial:

"Chore has been an absolute game-changer. As an early-stage founder, every minute spent on operations is a minute not spent on building product or selling. Before Chore, I had a long list of things that needed to be done but never felt like a priority—compliance, payroll, HR benefits, and more. With Chore, all of that disappeared, giving me peace of mind and allowing me to focus entirely on Hyperspell’s growth. It’s such an easy choice. If Chore disappeared, I don’t know what we’d do—it’s night and day."

Connor, CEO & Founder, Hyperspell

 

Overview:

Hyperspell, a platform enabling AI companies to leverage data more effectively, faced the common challenges of early-stage startups: balancing critical growth initiatives with time-consuming administrative responsibilities. Founder Connor quickly realized that spending time on state compliance, payroll, and HR benefits took away from the two most important activities—building and selling.

The problem wasn’t just the time spent on these tasks—it was the mental burden of keeping track of them. Some tasks sat on a to-do list for months, never quite reaching priority status but remaining essential. That’s when Connor turned to Chore to clear the backlog and establish an efficient operational system from day one.

 

Challenges Before Chore:

  • Time Drain: 5–10 hours per week lost on non-core operational tasks.
  • Constant Mental Load: A backlog of administrative tasks distracted from Hyperspell’s growth.
  • Lack of Operational Expertise: No in-house team to handle compliance, payroll, or HR systems.
  • Scaling Roadblocks: Onboarding new hires and setting up systems became bottlenecks.

Solution:

Chore became Hyperspell’s operations powerhouse, handling everything from compliance filings to year-end accounting. Instead of hiring an in-house admin team or managing part-time resources, Connor relied on Chore’s deep expertise to streamline every aspect of back-office operations.

 

Results:

  1. Significant Time Savings:
    • Chore saved Connor 5–10 hours per week, allowing more focus on growth.
    • Eliminated operational bottlenecks that slowed down product and sales.
  2. Reduced Mental Load & Stress:
    • Cleared a backlog of administrative tasks, freeing up strategic brain space.
    • Provided peace of mind knowing everything was handled correctly.
  3. Expert Guidance & Execution:
    • Chore’s team provided best practices and deep operational knowledge.
    • Delivered solutions that were more effective than a DIY or intern-led approach.
  4. Seamless Scaling & Operational Support:
    • Handled onboarding, payroll, and compliance, making growth frictionless.
    • Ensured that critical back-office processes never became a blocker.

Conclusion:

For early-stage founders like Connor, Chore is a no-brainer investment. By taking on the operational burden, Chore ensures that founders can focus on what really matters—building their product, growing their team, and delivering value to customers.

For any startup looking to maximize efficiency, remove operational friction, and scale seamlessly, Chore is the ultimate solution.
