On a mission to empower teams
We started as friends with two very different backgrounds and growing up in different parts of the world. We met while working in the fintech industry and immediately thought we’ve known each other all of our lives.
Both of us were similar in our love of technology but different how we spent our corporate careers….one in product development, design and operations and the other in the cultures of people and companies. We are both very social people and we found a need for organizing our friends around finances… whether it was for a group trip, a reunion or our kid’s school and sports activities…. we found that there was a gap in technology that helped groups financially interact. We didn’t want money to be a sore topic between friends, families and colleagues; we wanted people to interact like they socially do with happiness and trust.
We thought if we could bring trust into how people interact financially, then we’ve solved “the people” part of the equation.

Our Vision

Our Culture

I've always been an entrepreneur as I've created my own medical app, am a 5 star rated freelancer on Fiverr for my digital work, and I own & manage a food truck called Seoul Food BBQ. My passion and what gets me up every day is wanting to empower small businesses with the tools they need to be successful in the digital world from SEO to business strategy. Defining a target audience and laser focus on that audience with digital strategy is my sweet spot.
