Found is on a mission to make self-employment easier. With one simple app, entrepreneurs can seamlessly run their businesses—from automatically tracking their expenses and estimating their taxes to keeping their books organized.
It’s predicted that over half of the U.S. workforce will be self-employed by 2027. We're designing the business bank accounts and invoicing features for them. Come help us build for this future. We’re just getting started.
