Meet the team behind Crittiks

We're building the operating system for modern digital teams — helping agencies save time, reduce friction, and get back to what matters most.

Our Story

Crittiks began with a simple observation: digital teams were drowning in tabs, tools, and tasks. Client approvals, content workflows, and community management had become a maze.

So we built one roof to bring it all together.

From projects to posts, feedback to final approvals: Crittiks is designed to save time for digital people and give them back creative flow.

No more chasing messages across apps. No more waiting for client replies. Just clarity, structure, and speed: everything an agency needs to scale with ease.

At our core, we believe in one thing:
Time is the new creative currency.
Our mission is to protect it.

Our Vision

To become the Operating System for the Modern Agency, empowering every digital team to manage clients, creators, and communities effortlessly under one platform.

Our Mission

To help agencies and freelance managers save time, reduce friction, and increase productivity through intelligent, human-centric tools that make collaboration seamless and approvals faster.
