In‑person energy & collaboration
— Based in NYC, we foster a tight‑knit, energetic team environment where voice matters and decisions move fast.
Mission with heart
— We’re clearing the path for small business owners to take meaningful steps forward by providing them clarity, speed, and confidence when it matters most.
World‑class investors & runway for impact
— Backed by Obvious, Giant Ventures, Divergent, Trust Fund, Burst Capital, Bloomberg Beta, and others, our Series A sets a deliberate course for growth and meaningful scale.
