BoardLit replaces email threads, shared drives and spreadsheets with one secure place where your board prepares, meets, decides and follows up. Votes are counted under the rules in your own Articles and shareholders' agreement.
The pilot is open to VC- and DFI-backed growth companies in Tanzania and Kenya, including Delaware and United Kingdom holding structures.
Two procurement exceptions in Q2 showed that single sign-off above USD 50,000 was not enough control as spending grows.
Five things on one home pageEach person also sees the one next thing they should do.
Every step of a board meeting happens in BoardLit, so the record builds itself as the board works. Nobody has to collect papers, votes and signatures afterwards.
Build the agenda, attach the papers and issue the pack. BoardLit suggests items, checks the agenda against your rules and marks the items that need a vote.
Directors ask questions on any page of a paper. Management answers in writing before the meeting, so meeting time goes to strategy.
Each director votes from their own device. BoardLit counts weighted seats, required voters, vetoes, investor consents and seats that must vote in favour, and it detects a deadlock as soon as one forms.
Each decision is stored with its rationale and a certificate. Minutes are drafted, approved and signed in the same place.
Actions carry an owner and a deadline. The board sees what was delivered, what is late and which decision each action came from.
This is the BoardLit rules engine running on an example rulebook. Change who is present or how a director votes, and the outcome updates as it would in the meeting.
XYZ Company Ltd and its rulebook are fictional. When you join, your company secretary sets up your own rulebook from your Articles and shareholders' agreement, and BoardLit records which version applied to every vote. BoardLit applies the rules you configure. It does not give legal advice.
Every decision keeps its reason, its result and a trail of what happened next.

The rationale is written when the vote closes and printed on the certificate.
Who voted against or abstained stays in the register.
Signed minutes, certificates and closed votes are never edited. A correction is a new record that points to the original.
Each decision stores the rulebook version used. A later change to the rules never alters a past outcome.
Nobody needs training. Each person sees the work that belongs to their role.
Runs meetings, minutes, signatures, registers and access.
Leads the board, approves agendas and minutes, and signs.
Executive, non-executive, independent and nominee directors read papers, ask questions, vote, sign and own actions.
Presents papers, answers questions in writing and owns actions.
Read the papers they are admitted to and ask questions. They cannot vote.
A shareholder portal for holdings, reports and resolutions is planned after the pilot.
One person can sit on several boards with one sign-in. Each board's papers are visible only through that person's role on that board.
BoardLit's Copilot summarises packs and drafts minutes and resolutions. It reads only the records the person asking can open, and every output is labelled and cites its sources.
Summary of the paper for directors.
These protections are part of how BoardLit is built. They are not settings anyone can switch off.
Every query is limited to your organisation, and the database enforces the same boundary a second time.
The server checks each person's role every time, whatever the screen shows.
Every account signs in with a second factor.
Managing settings or sharing does not open board papers. Reading needs a role that grants it.
Opens, page views, downloads, votes, signatures and access changes go to a log that cannot be edited.
Signed minutes, certificates and closed votes cannot be changed after the fact.
We are opening a small number of pilot places. We set up your board with you, including your rulebook, and learn from how you use it.
Pricing. Pilot terms are agreed with each company. Prices are not published yet.
No. BoardLit applies the rules your company sets up from its own Articles and agreements. Your lawyers decide what those rules are.
Only the people your company admits, through their role on the board or committee. Admin rights to manage settings do not include reading board papers.
Yes. A director who sits on several boards signs in once and sees each board's content only through their role on that board.
No. Copilot reads only the records the person asking can open, labels everything it writes as AI, and cites its sources. A person approves every draft before it becomes part of the record.
