The story
Best Friend Finance was founded in 2023 by Gabo as a financial inclusion startup aiming to democratize access to core financial services. The company positions itself around emotional connection and empathy in finance, targeting underserved populations who feel excluded by traditional financial systems. The public evidence is very thin — the company appears to be at an early pre-product or early-launch stage with minimal disclosed infrastructure.
