đź’Ą Big News: We Made Forbes + $40k For Your Biz
TL: We're on Forbes! Color-coded *money* clarity, and the business of setting boundaries

June 21, 2025
This week was surreal. We were featured in Forbes.
And while our moms are already framing copies, I want to tell you the story you didn't see in that article.
Almost two years ago we quit our corporate jobs. We had a vision, a little bit of savings, and a whole lot of "what are we doing?!" energy.
Those two years weren't a highlight reel.
They were late nights, moments of sheer panic looking at our bank accounts, and celebrating tiny wins that no one else would understand.
If you’re building something right now and it feels slow, messy, or invisible… this is your reminder:
You’re not behind. You’re just in the part no one sees.
And if we can go from spreadsheets in our pajamas to Forbes, you can too.
✨ Save time and automate
Running a business is hard enough, your finances shouldn't be a guessing game.
The average solopreneur spends 5-7 hours a month on bookkeeping. Not to mention they miss out on an average of $15k+ in tax savings every year just because they don't have the right tools.
That’s why we built Investrio, your all-in-one financial center:
âś… Automate your bookkeeping
âś… Track every dollar
âś… Maximize your deductions
âś… Plan ahead with ease
You work too hard to leave money behind.

🏦 Finance Fix
You’re Not “Bad With Money”
This week in Forbes we explored a feeling most solopreneurs know all too well: That pit in your stomach when you think about your finances.
The truth? You’re not “bad with money.” You’re just carrying the emotional weight of every dollar.
As one founder put it, that financial pressure can feel “crushing.”
Here’s what you can do:
✅ Make a money date: Just 15 minutes. That’s all. Look at your balance. Review one thing. No pressure to fix it all just start.
âś… Separate your money: Inside Investrio, you can color-tag expenses: orange = business, pink = personal. (Easy. Fast. Tax-season-friendly.)
âś… Try Investrio: Track it all in one place. Let Vestie (our AI assistant) help you stay on top of money.
