Have you ever wondered what sort of apps the CEO of a tech startup might have on their phone? They are, after all, the busy, tech savvy heads of companies — exactly the sort of people you'd expect to have good app advice.

We caught up with the CEOs of four Colorado tech startups and asked them what apps they relied on and it's not surprising the majority focused on getting things done or organization. Here is what the CEOs had to say:

Slack

"The most useful app on my phone is the Slack app. It connects me with my team in a way that no app or platform has done before." - Ian Bernstein, CEO of Sphero

“Slack is indispensable. Since it connects our entire company and allows us to communicate on the go.” - Paul Ironside, CEO and Founder of CommercialTribe

Standard Email App 

“The standard Email app is actually my second go-to tool. While everyone has it, mastering the app and powerful mobile features allows me to do business and share at any time. We couldn’t even do that a few years ago." - Paul Ironside, CEO and Founder of CommercialTribe

Sedition

"It takes amazing video art and plays it on your TV, tablet, or smartphone. I love that they've bridged the gap between museum video installations and affordable at-home art.” - Chris Terrill, CEO of HomeAdvisor
