It started on a frustrating night of bowling (we were losing, giving a bunch of handicap pins to other team) at the end of which our team captain waved the envelope at us, ”Anything tonight?” and further frustration ensued. It wasn’t that we wanted to skip on paying, we were fed up with keeping track of dues manually, making additional trips to withdraw cash from the bank or ATM, and stuffing the envelope. We had enough and thought “there has to be a better way!”
Much of our finances today are automated. We have credit cards, recurring payments, mobile payments, and direct deposits to help us complete transactions. Cash is quickly becoming a grand inconvenience (no cash on airplanes and the list is growing). At that moment, the LeaguePals light bulb turned on and we started building a platform to automate and streamline the entire cash-flow of league bowling.
