Two apps that help the entrepreneurs you serve understand their money and act on it. Sproomi builds financial confidence a few minutes at a time. Maestro brings CFO-level insight to every business owner, straight from their own books.
A note before you click. The test links show both apps as they are today. The screens on this page show the design we’re moving to during the beta, so the live apps will look different for now and change as we go.

Try both apps today
Every member gets both apps, and in the beta each app opens the other, so one sign-in moves you between them.
Maestro
Click See the demo to explore with a sample business. No account needed. Best on a laptop.
Lessons are told through real jobs: a barber, a nurse, a truck driver. Each one takes about four minutes, and a pixel-art game called Sprout Quest lets learners practice what they just learned.
Watch

Customers pay late, rent comes due, and the player learns that earned is not the same as collected.Daily Sprout: InflationWhy the same paycheck buys less each year, told through a line cook.Daily Sprout: CompoundingHow starting early changes everything, and how the same math works against you on a credit card.
