workspaces, time tracking and management, team task organization, file management and social media, in an all in one system created JUST for VAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tune in to learn about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Why this system was created<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What it will help you do<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why it&#8217;s an essential tool for VAs to run their business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why it&#8217;s a no brainer to start using<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And a whole lot more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To get in touch with Rik at Kirmada, connect with him or book a demo here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Website:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/kirmada.com\/\">https:\/\/kirmada.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Kirmada:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Adam Engberg and Rik Yapp met for a virtual beer (the beer was real, the meeting was virtual) to discuss \u201cProject Kirmada\u201d. Rik, with a brain the size of a planet, challenged everything, and after a gruelling couple of pints it was decided we should see if we could do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We brought in another brain, Max Paukovs, overseer of our crack coding team of Kristaps, Ritvars, Martins, Atis and Valdis. They worked on proof of concept code. The code worked. We moved on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the next two years, we raised investment, both institutional and private, launched and tested the beta version, got things wrong, made them right, got more things wrong, heard feedback (some harsh, some amazing) and developed Kirmada to become the app small businesses need to organise their client workloads, boost productivity, and increase billable revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone who saw the concept during development \u201cgot it\u201d and we were able to build an impressive cap table of investors which includes an Australian investment fund and the legendary ex-CFO of Google, Patrick Pichette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now our team has grown to include Fran, Genevieve, Tim, Callum and Mills and we\u2019re pushing ahead with an exciting development roadmap to deliver our goal of the ultimate business and personal productivity tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u200cHow to Work With Me:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I am here to help.
