Today we are talking with co-founder of Kirmada Rik Yapp.
Rik and his partner Adam created Kirmada as an all in one solution for Virtual Assistants to manage their business and client work easily, without opening a million browser tabs.
Kirmada combines all of the technology that VAs need - workspaces, time tracking and management, team task organization, file management and social media, in an all in one system created JUST for VAs.

Adam Engberg and Rik Yapp met for a virtual beer (the beer was real, the meeting was virtual) to discuss “Project Kirmada”. Rik, with a brain the size of a planet, challenged everything, and after a gruelling couple of pints it was decided we should see if we could do it.
We brought in another brain, Max Paukovs, overseer of our crack coding team of Kristaps, Ritvars, Martins, Atis and Valdis. They worked on proof of concept code.
The code worked.
We moved on.
Over the next two years, we raised investment, both institutional and private, launched and tested the beta version, got things wrong, made them right, got more things wrong, heard feedback (some harsh, some amazing) and developed Kirmada to become the app small businesses need to organise their client workloads, boost productivity, and increase billable revenue.
Everyone who saw the concept during development “got it” and we were able to build an impressive cap table of investors which includes an Australian investment fund and the legendary ex-CFO of Google, Patrick Pichette.
Now our team has grown to include Fran, Genevieve, Tim, Callum and Mills and we’re pushing ahead with an exciting development roadmap to deliver our goal of the ultimate business and personal productivity tool.
Enjoy!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
