Hi, I’m Michael. I’m building Moo Money 🐄

Hey everyone! I’m Michael, the founder and solo developer behind Moo Money, a personal finance app for individuals and households.

Moo Money brings your accounts, spending, budgets, investments, and net worth into one place. The goal is to make it easier to understand your full financial picture, whether you’re managing your own money or sharing finances with a partner.

I’ve been building it alongside full-time work and finishing my master’s in machine learning. It’s now live with 100+ registered users, and I’ve been handling everything from the product and engineering to customer support and marketing.

AI tools have been a big part of how I build and iterate as a solo developer. I was also recently featured in Handshake’s AI Capabilities Report, where I talked about my experience using AI to build Moo Money and my interest in the intersection of finance and machine learning.

My focus now is getting the app in front of more people who would find it useful. Building the product and figuring out how to grow it have been two very different learning experiences.

For anyone who’s grown a consumer subscription app, what helped you find your first paying customers outside your personal network?

Looking forward to connecting with other founders here, especially anyone building in fintech, consumer apps, or AI!
