Kick

When I first became an entrepreneur I was surprised to learn my top expense wasn't contractor or ads – it was taxes. So after the $250M Teachable acquisition I was in a unique position to go all in on a bigger mission. Announcing: Kick, self-driving bookkeeping 😎 From running my immigrant parents' small business back office in high school–to starting dozens of my own companies–receipts, categorization and tax deadlines have always halted my momentum. Yet the tax code complexity continues to increase. And now, with $80B in new IRS funding, you can bet the risk to running your own business isn't getting any easier. My path to build Kick first became clear when we discovered a new way to build software. While the 2010s were all about collaborative workflows to help you get work done, the next wave of apps will do the work for you 🪄 Building an autopilot product has required an obsession with crafting a user experience that hides all financial, technical and machine labeling complexity. The end result is Kick What exactly is Kick you ask? We're an applied AI company on a mission to build the self-driving back office. Unlike past products I've built, Adrian Ślipko and I risked years before the hype to build a product which now grows completely through word of mouth. In just the past 18 months, Kick has saved hundreds of business owners $10M while bringing on world-class investors like OpenAI. How Kick works: 1. Rather than spreadsheets, Kick categorizes transactions for you for more accuracy, lower audit risk and daily tax savings.  2. With your books updated, you now can make decisions to drive your business forward–from cutting subscriptions to making that key hire. 3. Unlike anything else, Kick is the only freemium bookkeeping subscription where you only pay when you save. Who Kick is for: Kick works whether you just made your first dollar online–or run multiple LLCs, Partnerships and Real Estate. Best of all, you can keep your current advisors and tools. We handle all the financial busy work to make your accounting team happier and more strategic. We also collab with other fintechs who want to focus on their core competency. Want to build a product that'll impact millions of entrepreneurs? We're hiring across all roles. Links in the comments!
