We believe everyone should be able to participate and thrive in the economy. So we’re building tools that make commerce easier and more accessible to all.

We’re empowering the independent electrician to send invoices, setting up the favorite food truck with a delivery option, helping the ice cream shop pay its employees, and giving the burgeoning coffee chain capital for a second, third, and fourth location.

We’re here to help sellers of all sizes start, run, and grow their business—and helping them grow their business is good business for everyone.
