Our take

Happy Money is a FinTech startup creating an alternative to what it terms the "Sad Money" system. It is setting out to change people's relationships with money and lead the charge of mindful capitalism, uniquely focussing on human happiness across its financial tools and services.

Happy Money's products help members pay off debt, save money, and evaluate their “happy” and “sad” spending patterns. It works with a host of mission-aligned credit unions - showcasing its devotion to delivering member-first financial tools - and it has served hundreds of thousands of users, funding billions of dollars in personal loans.

The company reached unicorn status in 2022, allowing it to accelerate growth towards empowering more people to use money as a tool for happiness. It has since seen further funding that will also power growth and the advancement of its mission moving forward.
