Was Envelope tut

Envelope is a banking app with built-in budgeting. It's similar to Mint, Copilot, or Rocket Money, but our app issues you a checking account during onboarding so there's no syncing or flaky bank connections. We are structured to be the primary checking and savings account for our users. We (Josh and Katelyn) are married cofounders who previously worked on Apple Card and the Robinhood iOS app. We started Envelope because we were using clunky tools like the Chase app, spreadsheets, and Mint to run our family finances and realized we could build something better. In the future, you could go set up a Chase account for checking, E-Trade for investing, SoFi for savings, Ally for money market, Greenlight for kid cards, PLUS the Mint/YNAB/Rocket Money to glue it all together + budgeting, or you could just use Envelope. _Envelope is a financial technology company and is not a bank. Banking services provided by Pacific West Bank, Member FDIC. Your funds are FDIC insured up to $250,000 through Pacific West Bank, Member FDIC. The Envelope Visa® Debit Card is issued by Pacific West Bank, N.A. pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc. and may be used anywhere Visa cards are accepted._

Banking with built-in budgeting

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Envelope, a banking app that includes built-in budgeting. Unlike Mint or Copilot, we issue you a checking account during onboarding so you never have to sync or connect flaky bank APIs. It's designed to be your primary checking and savings account, replacing the need to juggle multiple financial apps and spreadsheets.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based here because it's where we live and where the fintech ecosystem is strong. Both founders are settled in SF, which keeps us close to potential users and partners.
