save for their children - enabling transparency, healthy communication, and

Our current product, the Onward app, is an expense tracking platform that
enables co-parents to easily see who is spending what for the children, pay
each other back, and streamline the often tense communication around shared

integrating connected debit cards, savings, and loan products that redefine
how co-parents plan, spend, and save for their children.
