Quarters is the CRM for founders who sell before they have a sales team — one thread for every conversation, a coach for your week, and a system that never lets a relationship go cold.
Founders who sell control two things: where time goes, and who gets attention. Quarters is built around both — a coach that keeps hours honest, and a system that compounds.
Every six weeks you set your goals. From there, Quarters turns what it sees across your calendar and conversations into a plan for the day ahead — and tells you, honestly, what you could do better to achieve PMF.
iMessage, WhatsApp, a stray text and email all collapse into one contact — with an AI summary of who they are and what you last said. Because founders who sell, sell personally.

Quarters keeps founders close to the people who matter — and on top of the deals that count:
Active deals move across a clean board, stage by stage, until they close.
Mentors, investors and connectors, kept on a rhythm so the gap never grows.
When a deal closes, Quarters studies what made it fit — industry, stage, team shape and who championed it — then ranks the companies in your network that look just like it. Each gets a match score, so you start with the warmest ten.
Every win you close spins two loops — fresh lookalikes to chase, and support signal that syncs right back into Quarters. Your first landed accounts, properly supported and leveraged into new opportunities, are what move you closer to product–market fit.
HubSpot, Attio and Salesforce assume reps, a manager and a process. Quarters assumes one thing: it's you, and you're selling.

I'm running AskHumans, a venture-backed startup, and I built Quarters for the messy early phase — moonlighting, pre-MVP, first design partners, deep in an accelerator. Before product-market fit, before any real structure.
In that phase two things matter above all: relationships and movement. You're finding leads through warm intros and chance conversations, and nurturing the people who want to help. Not all are customers — some become connectors to customers, talent and press.
The best advice is always "keep talking to people." But that's a goal, not a system. So every six weeks I set my goals, and Quarters checks them against what it actually sees — then gives me honest feedback on my terms. And because these are the most personal relationships I have, all of it runs privately on my own Mac — never handed off to Big AI. That's why I built it.
Every other CRM with AI quietly ships your private conversations — the deal you're closing, the text that closed it, the people you can't afford to lose — off to OpenAI or Anthropic to be read. Quarters doesn't.
The intelligence behind your coach, your cadence, and your inbox triage is an open model that runs on your own Mac. Your messages are read on your machine and analyzed on your machine — nothing is handed to Big AI.
And because Quarters is single-player by design — no team, no admin, no shared workspace — there's no one looking over your shoulder. Your relationships are the most sensitive thing you own. They stay exactly where they belong: with you.
One thread for every conversation, a coach for your week, and a system that never lets a relationship go cold.

Live deals sit in your pipeline so you push toward revenue. People worth staying close to sit in your cadence so no one who opens doors is overlooked.
When a deal closes, Quarters studies what made it fit — then surfaces the next companies that look just like it.
Every conversation flows into your pipeline. Each win spins the next.
HubSpot, Attio and Salesforce assume reps, a manager and a process. Quarters assumes one thing: it's you, and you're selling.
I started Quarters because every CRM I tried wanted me to be a sales org. I wasn't — I was one founder, selling, with conversations scattered across five apps and no idea who was going cold.
So I built the tool I needed: one thread per person, a coach for my week, and a system that quietly keeps the right relationships warm.
Every other CRM with AI quietly ships your private conversations off to third parties. Quarters doesn't.
