I got tired of chasing client approvals across email, so I built a scope-to-cash app for freelancers

A few years of freelance/contract work taught me something annoying: the actual work was fine, but the business layer was chaos. Scope lived in email threads. Approvals were "did they ever reply to that?" Invoices were a separate tool I'd update from memory at month-end. I lost money twice to scope creep I couldn't prove.

So I built Stria — one system that runs a client engagement from scope to payment: clients, projects, deliverables, client feedback/approvals, invoicing, and payments via Stripe Connect. The client gets a feedback loop built in, so approvals are timestamped instead of buried in email.
