Our story
FinDom was founded in 2024 by three friends who met in line for a convention none of them could afford to attend. The badges were purchased anyway. The badges were always purchased anyway. Somewhere between the con floor and the overdraft notice, the idea arrived: what if the money simply said no?
They built Smart Denial™ that winter and trained it on two years of their own transactions, which it described, in its first generated report, as "instructive." The model was given read access in January, write access in March, and a name in April.
Today, FinDom manages the money of 41,000 members with a small team and one standard: the plan holds.
