Wait, who are you? And what is Balance? 🤔

Hi. I’m Bree. Founder & CEO of Balance, financial forecasting for the independent (or gig) worker. And we’ve probably met! I interviewed many of you on this list. You might remember one of my first questions was, “Tell me about the last time you felt financial joy.” And then you laughed at me. 😆

I got a lot of weird looks and stunned silence from that one, but it always made for great conversation. So thank you again for all your insight. And now I’d like to share something with you. Our first version of Balance...

Alpha Baby. 👶 https://app.balance.cash

Think of this first version like a cash-flow calculator in your pocket. Best part — it’s on a calendar. So you can easily forecast your money based on your schedule. 

Key items of note:

• We make it easy to use Balance with or without connecting your bank. 

• Our current list of supported banks is small, but growing. 

• We’ll be adding features based on your feedback (so please don’t hold back).

We want to know what you really think. 🙏

Take the Alpha for a spin and let us know what you think - unfiltered. Don’t worry, you won't hurt our feelings. You can reply directly to this email. Here are some thought starters: 

• What stands out about Balance? 

• Was there an “aha-moment”? If so, please explain.  

• What does the Alpha version leave you wanting more of?

• Anything else you’d like to share with us?

Moving forward. #buildinpublic 🏗️

Your feedback is important. I’m the real human on the other side of this email. You have a direct line to our team as we build Balance in public with all of you. So drop me a line, or let’s hop on a call. I’d love to visit with you again. I’d love to learn how Balance can help you forecast your money, so you can make better decisions about how much you want to work, spend, or save to reach your goals. 

But wait, do you like stickers? 

If you’ll go one extra step on the feedback effort, I’ll send you a sticker pack. Give the Alpha a spin and then schedule a live 20-min (video chat) feedback session with me before January 31, 2023. Once the session is complete, I’ll mail you this super set of stickers. Kazaam! 💥

🥂 Cheers to your future!
