Connecting Your Business Framework to Your Entire Stack

Vik Chadha's creation of GoalCadence emerged from a frustration that haunted him across multiple companies: watching leadership teams religiously follow proven business frameworks while drowning in manual data updates and disconnected tools.

"At GlowTouch, we spent countless hours updating spreadsheets for our meetings," Vik recalls. "Meanwhile, our actual data lived in Salesforce, QuickBooks, and Asana. We were making million-dollar decisions based on metrics that were days or weeks old. GoalCadence solves this insanity by connecting directly to live business data."

Having scaled GlowTouch to 2,800 employees across multiple countries, Vik understood that operational excellence requires more than frameworks—it requires real-time visibility. His experience implementing enterprise systems at GE taught him that disconnected tools create information silos that kill accountability and execution.

Through Scalable Ventures, Vik observed a pattern across portfolio companies: those running structured business operating systems saw dramatic improvements, but implementation costs and manual processes limited adoption. Mid-market companies couldn't afford six-figure consultants, and manually updating scorecards wasted precious leadership time.

GoalCadence reflects Vik's engineering approach from Virginia Tech: complex problems often have elegant technical solutions. By creating native integrations with CRMs, project management tools, and financial systems, GoalCadence transforms any business framework from a manual process into an automated operating system. Scorecards update automatically, quarterly goals sync with project milestones, and leadership meetings run with live data.

"Business frameworks work brilliantly, but their implementations are stuck in the Excel era. GoalCadence brings them into the age of connected systems, making world-class business operations accessible to every growth company, not just those who can afford expensive consultants."

Having co-founded Backupify, a company that manages 160 petabytes of data across multiple platforms, Vik understood how to make complex integrations simple. GoalCadence applies this expertise to business operations, connecting previously siloed tools into a unified command center where vision, strategy, and execution align automatically.

The platform embodies Vik's belief that great frameworks shouldn't require great expense. Today, GoalCadence helps hundreds of mid-market companies run their business operating system with the efficiency of enterprises, proving that operational excellence is about connection, not collection.
