Finding Your Grace in the Chaos: GraceBlocks for Startups


Greetings, fellow entrepreneurs and change-makers. Today, I want to share a journey, a narrative dipped in the hues of innovation, challenges, and entrepreneurial spirit. This isn’t just my story; it’s a saga that resonates with many of you, the brave who chose the road less traveled: entrepreneurship.


The Genesis: From BrassRing to GraceBlocks


Back in the late 90s, my journey began at a small, ambitious company called HireSystems, which eventually evolved into BrassRing. We were pioneers, charting unknown territories in the world of Enterprise Applicant Tracking Systems. Transitioning from my experiences at BrassRing, I channeled the valuable insights gained there into establishing SmashFly Technologies, with the goal of developing a cutting-edge Enterprise Recruitment Marketing platform.


For over 25 years, the entrepreneurial space has been my playground, my battleground, and I’ve cherished every moment of it.


A New Chapter: Embracing GraceBlocks

November 1st 2019, 4 years ago to this day,  marked the inception of GraceBlocks. We embarked on a quest to create a platform rich in technology and functionality. Our ambition was grand; we aimed to solve an array of problems across various use cases. From aiding Enterprise companies to enhance their ATS or CRM systems to constructing brand-new applications from scratch, GraceBlocks was our Swiss Army Knife.


Along this 4 year journey, GraceBlocks seamlessly integrated into every facet of our lives, proving its utility not just in high-stakes startup operations but also in the everyday tasks that fill our hours. It transformed the way we handled routine responsibilities, from coordinating with our accountant on tax documents to planning personal vacations. In both our professional and personal spheres, GraceBlocks emerged as an indispensable tool, making even the mundane aspects of our day-to-day more manageable and efficient.


The Challenge: Striking the Right Chord

Yet, as many startups will testify, product-market fit remained our Holy Grail. Building a phenomenal product is one thing; aligning it with the right audience is another. This has been our crucible.


The revelation came from within. As we continued to sculpt GraceBlocks, we found ourselves relying on it for our startup needs. From CRM systems to customer interactions, GraceBlocks was our silent partner, our problem solver.


I couldn’t help but wonder, what if GraceBlocks had been a part of my journey from the start? HireSystems, BrassRing, SmashFly - the efficiency, the empowerment it would have brought to our teams is immeasurable.


The Epiphany: GraceBlocks and Startups - A Perfect Symphony


So, as the horizon broadens, I believe startups, especially those between 1 to 50 employees, stand to gain immensely from GraceBlocks. It’s not just a tool; it’s an ally that grows with you, adapts to you, and solves with you.


Think lightweight CRM systems, employee management, policy creation, document management, customer support - GraceBlocks isn’t just a solution; it’s your startup’s companion.

Designing Your Scalable Onboarding System: From Offer Letter to Productive Employee

Okay, let’s talk onboarding. You know, that magical process that turns a nervous newbie into a productive, engaged member of your team? It's more than just handing them a laptop and hoping for the best. Think of it like planting a seed. You need good soil, water, and sunshine, right? Onboarding is the same: structure, support, and connection are key.

A New Chapter: Empowering SMB HR Teams with the HR Agility Toolkit

Hey everyone, Mike here. Some of you might know me from my BrassRing days, or perhaps from my time building and leading SmashFly. For over two decades, I've been knee-deep in the world of HR technology, always striving to build solutions that truly make a difference for HR professionals. These days, my focus is on GraceBlocks, a no-code platform I co-founded because I saw a real need for something different. But more on that in a bit. Today, I want to talk about a shift in focus for this blog, "The HR Agility Toolkit." We're going to be doubling down on what matters most: empowering small and medium-sized business (SMB) HR teams – specifically, those of you working in companies with up to 200 employees. Why the change? Because over the past few years, as we've been building and refining GraceBlocks, we've seen a gap. A gap that, frankly, I saw glimpses of during my time at BrassRing and SmashFly, too. While there are plenty of great HRIS, ATS, and CRM system...
