Simplefin is an ecosystem of apps, services and APIs that will create individualised experiences based on your financial history and longterm goals.
Personal finance management tools aren't built for indviduals, they target everyone. They do not gather data from multiple sources and give a holistic view of overall finances. They throw a lot of information at the user and the user has to make sense of it. We leverage the power of machine learning to give actionable insights to the users to motive savings behavior. What's the problem? Current apps suck at these, completely ignores personal context of the individual low financial awareness privacy issues with saving data steep learning curve in understanding markets and personal needs negative feedback loops too technical or jargon heavy How do we fix it? starts with user's context defines baseline parameters for personal finance goals make a relationship with the user extremely clear with consent, data, and privacy customizable personalized widgets language-agnostic chatbots ethical marketplace for products and services with clear dislaimers communities for goals, groups and communities micro-lessons and awareness through teaching The longterm idea is a set of apps, APIs and interfaces that come together to help create feedback loops that are tailored for each individual's personal requirements.
The platform is the result of a need for intuitive tools to manage large-scale hackathons like ETHIndia, wmn; and InOut (6 editions so far) handcrafted and organized by the Devfolio team. This, coupled with the lack of availability of a unified and seamless platform to manage hackathons, is the motivation behind unique features such as ‘Apply with a click’ and hacker RSVP management. Organizing hackathons can get stressful pretty soon with organizers needing to juggle multiple tools and platforms apart from running logistics on the ground to bring it all together seamlessly for their attendees. Devfolio replaces multiple tools/platforms which organizers would need to use otherwise - Google Forms/Typeforms for applications, Mailchimp for sending emails and GitHub/Devpost for project submissions. Easily accept applications from your hackathon website, gather essential information from hackers and get projects submitted on a publicly shareable link. Devfolio also allows you to leverage our vibrant, hacker community. Get up to double the number of applications through the platform itself, from hackers who’re always on the lookout for new hackathons to participate in! Analyze and track application metrics, review profiles and send hackathon invitations with ease using Devfolio’s powerful organizer dashboard. The dashboard is packed with nifty features that organizers need like email announcements and logistics management.
