Hello! ๐Ÿ‘‹
My name is Jen.

I'm the founder, engineer and designer behind Lunch Money.

Lunch Money started in 2019 after I grew tired of the multicurrency spreadsheet I had been maintaining for 1.5 years.

I ran the company solo for the first 5 years, strengthening our roots in solopreneurship and building in public!

As a solopreneur and independent developer, my priorities are different from big companies like Mint. Lunch Money focuses on making personal finance easy for you, instead of selling your data for profit.

We always put our users first. We donโ€™t have corporate shareholders and investors. Youโ€™ll experience personalized support via email and the Lunch Money Discord Community, where you can get help from real people, including myself!

Weโ€™re transparent. We actively share what weโ€™re planning. Our Changelog is public, and so is the Lunch Money feature request board, where users can vote for features on our product roadmap. Your opinions matter โ€” weโ€™re building Lunch Money for you!

Be a part of the Lunch Money journey. Unlike watching a huge company gain another million users, being a part of Lunch Moneyโ€™s journey is something special. You can watch a solopreneurโ€™s business grow and celebrate when it reaches its milestones, thanks to your support.

Independent developers often have a heart to serve others.

Our Tool Stack has suggestions of products that were developed independently, which I use and love!

Connect with me via LinkedIn, Twitter, email or buy me a book ๐Ÿ“˜!

Today, we are a growing team of passionate Lunch Money enthusiasts across 4 different countries!
