What is StartupKit?
StartupKit is a unified platform that brings hiring, security, training, and outreach together under a single account. It is designed to carry a team from its very first hire all the way through to its first audit, keeping the work that usually lives in scattered tools inside one place.
Candidates, security researchers, and trainees each receive a passwordless portal hosted on your own domain, opened through a magic link. Your team works in the browser or connects an AI assistant via MCP to move work forward.
Who it's for
- Early-stage operators — teams that need hiring, security, and training handled without stitching together separate systems.
- Security and compliance leads — anyone running a bounty program or preparing evidence for an auditor.
- Recruiting and outreach teams — people who want prospect research and drafted emails reviewed before anything sends.
Key features
Passwordless portals on your domain
Candidates, researchers, and trainees each get a private link rather than an account. A candidate can check their stage and respond to an offer through the same link, while a trainee uploads their own proof of completion.
Hiring pipeline visibility
Operators see who is waiting on them, including reviews pending, code tasks about to expire, and candidates still awaiting a reply. Applications can be advanced with the candidate notified automatically.
Security bounty workflow
Reports can be triaged, and approving a bounty records a ledger credit and notifies the researcher. Researchers can check payout status, upload tax documents, and appeal a decision from their own portal.
Training register and export
Completion is tracked one row per person, with names, employee IDs, departments, and completion dates ready to export. Individual evidence bundles can be downloaded for an auditor to review.
What stands out
From first hire to first audit.
That single line captures the product's real edge: it treats hiring, security, and training as one continuous journey rather than three disconnected chores. The MCP connection reinforces this, letting an AI assistant advance applications, approve bounties, check training registers, and draft outreach — while destructive actions are flagged before they run. Each tool signals whether it reads data, makes a destructive change, or contacts someone outside your company, so nothing irreversible happens silently.
Worth checking out if…
You are a small team that wants hiring, security, and training handled in one account instead of four subscriptions. It is also worth a look if you already lean on an AI assistant and want it to act on real workflows with clear warnings before anything destructive. A 30-day free trial is available, after which the Standard plan runs at $8 per seat per month, cancellable anytime.
