The back office, built for founders

We’ve worked with over 800 startups—from first-time founders at pre-seed to fast-moving teams raising Series A and beyond—and we’d love to help you navigate whatever’s next.

Here’s how we’re willing to help you:

  • Incorporating a new startup? We’ll take care of it—no legal fees, no delays.

  • Spending at scale? You’ll earn 3% cash back on every dollar spent with our cards.

  • Transferring $250K+? We’ll add $2,000 directly to your account.

🤑 $435,000 in grants up for grabs → WomensNet is handing out $10k Amber Grants every month (plus category grants + $25k year-end prizes). One app = all the opportunities. Low lift, high reward.

👀 $100k salary in 2020 = $124k today just to break even. OH. Just a reminder that if your pay-check hasn’t budged you’re already down $24k thanks to inflation. Translation: it’s raise season.

✨ 3 Steps to Glow, Martha-Approved✨

Martha Stewart called her beauty routine “easier than making a pot of soup.” Turns out, the secret is MERIT. And if the queen of lifestyle is shortcutting with MERIT’s Great Skin Trio, what are you waiting for?

Step 1. Double Cleanse
MERIT’s brand-new launch: a bi-phase foaming cleanser that melts away makeup + SPF in one go and gently exfoliates. Think clean, soft, smooth skin without the squeak.. yum.

Step 2. Glow Serum
Like a tall glass of water for your face. This hydrates, plumps, and delivers that “8 hours of sleep + 2 litres of water” glow (whether you did or not).

Step 3. Priming Moisturizer
Blur, hydrate, prep. It’s your moisturizer, primer, and all-day skin bestie rolled into one. Makeup optional.

✨ All three = The Great Skin Trio. Get your Martha-approved trio here.
