👋 Hey everyone — I’m Mark.
I’m a first-time founder building something I've wanted in my own life for years:
🌊 Flow — a money app that doesn’t feel like a bank.
Because you’re not a customer. You are the bank.
💡 What Flow Does
Flow gives people full control of their financial life with features like:
Free banking tools — so everyone gets access, always
AI saving spaces — “Can I save £300 in 6 weeks?” = Flow tells you how
Ethical, trust-based borrowing — borrow small amounts from a community pool at 0–5%, not 39% overdraft fees
Gamified levels + real-life rewards — unlock app themes and turn Flow Points into things you actually care about (like flight credits, game credits, or gym discounts)
Optional giving that gives back — donate £1/mo to our built-in charity “Raise a Million”, and you get rewarded too
⠀
🌍 Why This Matters
Money affects mental health.
Money affects opportunity.
Money affects how people feel about themselves.
So Flow isn’t just another fintech app — it’s designed to make money feel human, ethical, and supportive.
Not gamed. Not judged. Not confusing.
📱 What I’ve Done So Far
Created first mockup using Lovable AI
Built a working concept for Flow's onboarding, rewards, and AI queries
Posting progress publicly to build momentum and find collaborators
Just bought the domain: flowmoneyapp.com
Launched the vision and logo across LinkedIn and Figma drafts
⠀
👀 What I’m Looking For
I’d love your thoughts, advice, or even collaboration if you have:
Built apps using Open Banking APIs (UK or EU)
Experience in ethical lending, gamification, or fintech UX
A passion for helping people feel empowered around money
Ideas for feedback, features, or red flags as I shape the MVP
⠀
🙏 Thanks for reading — I’m new here and excited to meet other builders.
Let’s build in flow.
— Mark 🧠💙
