I build software for ideas that don't exist yet.

Text the Check

It started as a napkin sketch, because every group has one friend who pays, keeps the tally and ends up playing the bad cop to get the money back.

I'm not building another split app. I want paying each other to feel almost invisible and effortless: you open WhatsApp and text Tiqui like you'd text a friend, except this friend does the math, remembers who owes you and writes the reminder for you.

Now I'm taking it to bars in Buenos Aires to see if it spreads on its own.

Wide curiosity. One obsession at a time. 

Right now, that obsession is Text the Check.

Think out loud

What if your receipts paid themselves?

About

Studied environmental engineering
Studied international affairs
Software
Founder

I studied environmental engineering and international affairs, and left both to build. What I missed was being close to hard problems and building the answer myself, letting my imagination run until I'm in the flow.

I found that in software. It lets me work hand in hand with any industry without giving up my wide interests, and with AI it feels more like magic than ever.

What keeps me here is the people: builders who help each other, create, debate and aren't afraid to be wrong. Building in public means getting it wrong in public. That's how you know you're trying.

Co-founder of WiseUtils · From Corrientes, based in Buenos Aires.
