The story

PushPress was founded by a former gym owner (Dan Uyemura) who experienced firsthand the pain of opaque payment processing fees. The platform started as gym management SaaS and progressively layered in embedded finance: transparent Stripe-based payments, then embedded insurance (via Authentic Insurance), and most recently done-for-you bookkeeping (via Tight). The strategic arc is deepening financial infrastructure for a captive base of independent gym operators who lack finance expertise.
