Today’s product highlight is a fun one, but first, here’s some good news.
- Canva now natively supports Lottie. We love to see it!
- YouTube launched a hub for authoritative news. A blow to the rabbit hole?
- ChatGPT can officially browse the internet (again). Bad news for those sneaking past gated content. 😉
This pseudonymous app is centered around your ledger
Today’s highlighted app is a conversation starter. Pun intended.
What I mean by that is money can be taboo, or just emotionally hard to talk about.
If you have it, you might be hesitant to bring it up to friends. Perhaps you don’t want them to see you in a different light, or you want to be sensitive to a friend going through a hard time financially. Hey, maybe you’re a nepo baby and not as secure about it as others.
And if you don’t have money, you might feel self-conscious. Maybe you’re embarrassed by your debt number or financial literacy. That can feel so overwhelming that you don’t know where to turn.
What if you could talk to a community in the same boat, free of fear of judgment? Would you be more willing to strike up a conversation?
That’s the general idea behind Benjamin, “a community where users with verified net worth have honest conversations anonymously about money.”
Co-founder Sisun Lee, a serial founder, compared the app to Blind. “There's a lot of new information exchange that becomes possible” when you bring anonymity to the table, he explained.
Net worth on Benjamin is verified by linking your financial accounts to Plaid. The team has thought through various features to engage with your “tribe,” like facilitating ways to compare spending habits or giving you insights into trends with aggregated data.
