Puddle

F'22

An easier way for groups to collect and spend money together

FinTech

About

Managing shared expenses in groups — trips, rent, activities — is clunky and awkward. Existing tools like Venmo and Splitwise require manual back-and-forth, individual payments, and trust that someone will hold and distribute funds correctly. Puddle eliminates this friction by letting groups create a shared money pool that everyone contributes to and spends from directly, removing the middleman entirely.

Product

Puddle is a mobile app for group financial pooling. Users create named pools (e.g., "Hawaii Trip," "Apartment Rent") and invite members via a share code. Each pool has a shared balance that members contribute to and spend from collectively, with a live activity feed showing all transactions. Users can manage multiple pools simultaneously — one for a trip, another for utilities — all within the same app.
