Version brief
Problem
College students
Audience
College students and young renters in shared housing, starting with 3–5 person households.
Solution
A shared ledger that splits rent and recurring bills automatically, verified through a read-only bank connection so nobody has to self-report what they paid.
Why now
Open banking APIs (Plaid, Teller) have made read-only bank verification cheap enough for a small team to build without a banking license.
Alternatives
Plaid, Teller
