About AppDeck
Portals were built for big companies. We built one for everyone else — a secure, branded home for every relationship your organization runs, from boards and clients to investors, donors, and vendors.
Our Story
Picture a 30-person nonprofit a week out from its biggest board meeting of the year. The executive director emails the board packet as a shared-drive link at 11pm. By morning, two directors can't open it, one is reading last month's version, and the link has been forwarded to someone who left the board back in March. The work inside is excellent. The way it arrived makes the whole organization look like it's held together with tape.
That gap — between how good a small team's work is and how amateur their tools make it look — is why AppDeck exists.
Every relationship that matters now runs through a portal: your board, your clients, your investors, your donors, your vendors, your members. Big companies buy a different tool for each one and hire IT to hold them together. Everyone else improvises with shared drives, email threads, and a data room thrown together the night before it matters.
And when small teams go looking for real software, the market punishes them twice: enterprise platforms that need a specialist to run, or per-seat pricing that charges you for inviting the very people the portal is for — your board members, your clients, your donors.
AppDeck is one platform for all of it. Spin up a board portal, a client portal, an investor data room, or a donor hub — each branded as yours, each with unlimited people invited in, all for one flat price per workspace. No per-seat penalty. No IT project. No duct tape.
Because the size of your organization should never make your work look small.
Our Values
Professional by Default
A small team should never look small because of its tools. Every portal is branded as yours and built to make your work look as serious as it actually is.
Simple Without IT
Powerful shouldn't mean complicated. You can stand up a portal in minutes — no specialist, no implementation project, no IT ticket.
No Penalty for Inclusion
The people a portal is for — your board, your clients, your donors — should never be a line item. Invite as many as you need on one flat price, with no per-seat penalty.
One Platform, Every Relationship
Boards, clients, investors, donors, vendors, members — every relationship gets a secure home in the same place, instead of a different tool and login for each.
Meet the Founder
Vik Chadha
Founder & CEO
Serial entrepreneur with 20+ years building B2B companies across three continents. Former executive at GlowTouch (2,800 employees), advisor to 50+ startups through Scalable Ventures.
Why Vik Built AppDeck
As Vik Chadha advised startups and small teams through Scalable Ventures, he kept hitting the same wall. The software that could give a board, an investor, or a client a secure, professional home was either priced for the enterprise or billed by the seat — charging you more for inviting the very people it was meant to serve.
"At GlowTouch, we spent $25,000 building custom portals that our internal tools already powered. Yet teams were still sending status updates via email and sharing files through insecure links. AppDeck bridges this gap elegantly."
Having built B2B companies across three continents and managed a team of 2,800, Vik understood that how you show up to the people outside your walls often decides whether they trust you — and that the organizations that looked buttoned-up won more business and kept it longer, regardless of their size.
AppDeck reflects a conviction from building multiple B2B companies: a small team should be able to look every bit as professional as a large one, without an enterprise budget or an IT department. One platform, every relationship, unlimited people invited in, one flat price.
"Your work might be world-class, but if the people who matter can't see that professionalism, it doesn't matter. AppDeck makes a small organization look every bit as serious as the work it does."
The platform embodies a lesson from Backupify: data should stay where users trust it, while the presentation layer transforms how that data creates value. AppDeck brings that same idea to every relationship an organization runs — turning scattered files and email threads into a branded portal people are glad to log into.
