A payments app for venues. Built with venues.

We're building this. We don't have all the answers yet. We're looking for cafes, galleries, clubs, and cultural venues to help us figure out how it should work.

A busy community cafe interior, regulars sitting at communal tables in soft daylight. The kind of place where the same faces come back.
Why we're starting with venues

Venues already have what most products try to manufacture.

The strongest networks aren't digital, they're physical. We don't need to create engagement, we just need to empower it.
  1. 01
    Real-world participation

    Active communities interacting in physical space every day, no algorithm required.

  2. 02
    Recurring foot traffic

    Patterns that already work. Daily, weekly, monthly cycles you can build on.

  3. 03
    Regulars

    The loyal base that forms the core identity of the place.

  4. 04
    Identity

    Venues people identify with, and want to see thrive.

  5. 05
    Spending behavior

    Existing commercial intent that can be transformed into community upside.

What we want to explore

How payments could feel like community, not just a transaction.

We don't know exactly what this should look like yet. Some directions we're curious about, and want to figure out with our first venue partners:

  • A community currency

    Your venue's own credits, earned by regulars showing up and spent back at the bar, or with allied venues nearby.

  • Stronger retention

    Repeat visits become a measurable pattern, not a hope.

  • Community-only perks

    Offers, drops, and discounts for the people who hold your currency.

  • More reasons to come back

    Currency moments tied to showing up, not just to spending.

  • Two-way value loops

    Money moves between the venue and the audience, not just one way.

The model we're testing

What was the banking margin becomes the community margin.

We're testing models like Fee Forward, where activity around the venue can generate community upside over time. We want payments to do more than settle transactions; we want them to support the community around the venue.

We don't know yet exactly what that should look like. That's what we want to figure out with you.

Who we want to build with

Venues that are already a community before they're a transaction.

We're looking for venues that already have:

  • A clear identity
  • Repeat customers
  • Community behavior
  • Events, offers, or cultural programming
  • Interest in loyalty, retention, and deeper engagement

Examples:

  • Cafes
  • Bars
  • Galleries
  • Clubs
  • Event spaces
  • Co-working spaces
Build with us

Let's figure this out together.
