Expensieve: Why People Care

Despite a growing shift to eCommerce, paper receipts still play a large role in our economy, and are especially important for freelancers who need to track expenses for business and tax purposes. Especially for busy freelancers on the go, receipts often end up in multiple locations, stuffed in pockets or boxes and folders in home offices and hallways.

Come tax time, they are left to sift through stacks of receipts accumulated throughout the year, often resulting in lost deductions (online credit card statements help, but a physical receipt is needed for IRS tax purposes).

While many freelancers can now turn to credit card statements to track business expenses, no application currently exists to address the tax needs of freelancers.  Our product focuses solely on simplifying the organization of these receipts, putting them into the cloud so they are searchable, wherever you may go.

Even for those who prefer to keep paper receipts, they have a tendency to fade over time, and a digital application helps provide the backup they need.

Gaggle Helps You Keep Tabs on Your Friends at SXSW

We set out to build a way to capture and share a story about your experiences through digital media, but did lots customer testing on and off the bus and found that there was a big pain point in the noisiness of social feeds.

Gaggle is a mobile app that filters your social feeds to only people you care about in that instant. You’re at SXSW with a bunch of your friends – you care a lot more about what they are saying than anyone else. Gaggle solves this problem by letting you form ad hoc groups of people whose updates you really care about. It collects just their posts from across all social networks and makes sure you don’t miss anything.

We are excited to launch Gaggle tonight, just in time for SXSW! Just sign up, create your Gaggle, invite your friends and you’ll be able to see just what they are doing! After SXSW, you can relive the experience and create more Gaggles anytime you are with your friends. Whether it’s on a hike or a trip to Chicago — Gaggle becomes THE place to keep up to date with the people you really care about.
