Tekkr enables tech leaders to build unicorn-level tech teams faster with battle-tested playbooks.

Tekkr has collected the shared wisdom of startup-to-unicorn tech-leaders into Tekkr Playbooks. Playbooks are a pre-built digital version of these best-practices, which organizations can easily tailor to their company-specific environment. The Tekkr B2B Saas platform then guides organizations through all steps required to get the Playbook implemented: aligning the playbook with key stakeholders, communicating the changes across the organization, and then tracking its effectiveness.

Tech leaders can either personally lead initiatives or leverage Tekkr to enable top performers to independently drive improvements. Tekkr streamlines workflows and provides teams with the tools and guidance they need, reducing direct leadership involvement and saving time. This allows leadership to focus on strategic priorities while teams take ownership of continuously improving operations.
