We're Kev and Matt. We're here to help.
We're two best friends, Xooglers, and startup founders who think:
Starting a startup shouldn't be so hard.
We know that founding a startup requires more than a great idea, a passion for helping people, and a lot of hard work.
Most new startups have a lot to learn about business, technology, and finances — and that can feel hard sometimes.
We're on a mission to make these skills easier for everyone.
Because we think everyone has a great idea that could grow into something big, with the right tools and a little help.
So let's get started together.
