Grid is coming soon, and I’m looking for people to help shape it.
When we first started growing the Dash Agency, we tried just about every social scheduling tool we could reasonably get our hands on. Not because we were obsessed with software, but because we needed something practical that would help us manage content across multiple clients.
At the very beginning, we used Notion. We actually paid for it using one of our start-up grants, and for a while it worked. Everything lived in neat boards and folders, clients could see content laid out clearly, and we felt organised. The only problem was that Notion didn’t actually publish anything. So, we were planning content in one place, then manually posting everything directly to each social platform. It worked, but it wasn’t sustainable as we grew.
We then moved on to other tools that promised scheduling. They could publish content, which was great, but they didn’t give us proper client approvals. That meant we ended up keeping Notion for planning and sign-off, and then using another tool on top of it to schedule. Two systems. Two sets of processes. Double the work.
Eventually, we switched again to a platform like Gain that finally gave us both approvals and scheduling in one place. It solved part of the problem, but at around £500 per month, it created another one. As a growing agency, every recurring cost matters. When the tools become that expensive, it becomes harder to pass on value to clients, and you start questioning whether the software is working for you or whether you’re simply working to pay for it.
That’s really the point where Grid began.
Grid came out of frustration, practicality and a need for something that supported the reality of running an agency, rather than adding more layers to it. It’s designed for people who manage multiple brands and want one, organised space to plan, approve and schedule content without juggling endless tools or swallowing enterprise-level pricing.
Rather than releasing something polished and pretending it’s perfect, I’d much rather build it alongside people who are actually going to use it.
Why I’m inviting early adopters in
Early adopters aren’t just testers. They’re the people who help shape what Grid becomes.
I want to know:
-
what genuinely saves you time
-
what gets in your way
-
what feels unnecessary
-
what needs improving before we scale it further
And because you’re giving your time and feedback, I want to give something meaningful in return.
Six months free for anyone who pre-registers
If you sign up for early access, you’ll receive six months free once Grid officially launches.
No hidden conditions. No sudden upgrades halfway through. Just a proper amount of time to see whether it fits your workflow, your team and your clients.
If after six months it isn’t right, that’s perfectly fine. If it genuinely helps, then hopefully it becomes something you want to keep using.
Who Grid is really built for
Grid isn’t designed for casual posting or one-off personal accounts. It’s for agencies, freelancers and in-house teams looking after several brands at once, who need clear approvals, organised workspaces and less friction in their day-to-day.
In truth, I’m building the tool I always wished we’d had from day one.
If you’d like to be part of the journey
You can pre-register here:
You’ll be kept updated, and you’ll be among the first invited in when we’re ready.
I’m looking forward to sharing more soon, and hopefully building something that genuinely makes life easier for the people who are actually doing the work.
