The company OS for agencies & delivery teams

From first pitch to final invoice.

Aurora is the open-source operating system for agencies and software delivery teams. Pipeline, projects, sprints, meetings AI, financials, and client portals — one platform replacing Jira, Notion, Linear, HubSpot, and Fathom.

Sales → Projects → Delivery → Ops

One workspace. The whole company.

Sellers, PMs, delivery teams, finance and leadership working off the same data — from the first discovery call to the final invoice. No more lossy hand-offs between tools.

01 — Sales

A real CRM that knows your delivery team

Accounts, contacts, deals, pipelines and forecasting — purpose-built for service businesses. Sellers see real delivery capacity before they promise a date, and every won deal carries scope, rates and stakeholders straight into the project.

  • Accounts, contacts, multi-pipeline deals
  • Proposals, SOWs & e-signature
  • Quote-to-cash with rate cards & approvals
  • Forecasting tied to actual delivery capacity
02 — Projects

Engagements that spin up from the deal

When a deal closes, the engagement is born — scope, milestones, RAID log, stakeholders, billing model and the right playbook applied. No more re-keying the SOW into a PM tool while the kickoff clock ticks.

  • Playbooks per service line
  • Milestones, RAID & status reports
  • Stakeholder map carried over from CRM
  • Budget & rate card inherited from the deal
03 — Delivery

Where the work actually happens

Sprints with capacity, backlog grooming, tasks across table, board, timeline and canvas, threaded docs, meeting AI and approvals. Engineers, designers, PMs and clients all working in one place — with row-level security keeping every audience on the right side of the wall.

  • Sprints, capacity & velocity
  • Tasks · docs · meetings · approvals
  • Real-time presence with RLS-scoped access
  • Time tracking that feeds invoices
04 — Ops & Finance

The org-wide view leadership has been begging for

Portfolio health, margin by client and service line, utilization, retention risk, invoiced vs. recognized revenue — all in one place. People, finance and the C-suite finally see the same numbers as delivery.

  • Portfolio dashboards & burn
  • Margin, utilization & forecast revenue
  • Invoicing, expenses & accounting sync
  • Client portals, CSAT & renewal signals
The handover problem, solved

The deal becomes the engagement. In one click.

Most agencies lose a week — and a lot of context — translating a closed-won deal into a real project. Aurora carries scope, stakeholders, rates, success criteria and discovery notes across the wall automatically, then applies the right delivery playbook so kickoff is a meeting, not a scavenger hunt.

  • Scope & deliverables → milestones
  • Rate card & budget → project financials
  • Stakeholders → project access
  • Discovery notes → kickoff doc
  • Success criteria → status report KPIs
  • AE & CSM → engagement roles

What teams say after a month.

We killed Jira, Notion and HubSpot in the same week. Nobody asked to bring them back.

Why we built this

Productivity software is broken.

Notion, Asana, Monday, ClickUp, Linear — all great products, all charging $10–$25 per user per month, then stacking AI add-ons on top. Hundreds of dollars a month for software you don't fully use, can't host, and can't extend.

How is Aurora different from Notion, ClickUp, or Linear?+

Aurora is open source, self-hostable, and covers the full sales-to-delivery-to-ops lifecycle in one workspace — not a wiki, not a tracker, not a CRM. AI is BYO key, so you pay providers directly with no markup.

Do I have to self-host?+

No. Hosted plans start at $5/user/month. Self-hosting is free forever — four commands and you're up on Supabase + Cloudflare.

How does the meeting AI work?+

Connect Google Calendar, and Aurora joins your Meet/Zoom/Teams calls automatically. It transcribes, summarizes, and assigns action items to the right project — using your own AI key.

Is my data really mine?+

Yes. Self-host on your own infra, or use hosted with workspace-scoped row-level security. We never train on your data, ever.

Can my clients log in too?+

Yes. Client portals are first-class — scoped views, change orders, approvals, and invoices without giving up the keys to your workspace.
