From Accelerator to Demo Day: Meet Simplifyer, Turning Receipts into Financial Clarity for Gen‑Z
We sat down with Isabel Carapeta, Founder of Simplifyer and part of the Foundry 2025 cohort, to learn about her journey through the accelerator, what Simplifyer does, and where they’re headed as Demo Day approaches.
💬 Q&A with Isabel Carapeta, Co‑Founder of Simplifyer
Q: For people who haven’t heard of Simplifyer — what do you do?
A: I’m a Portuguese founder. What I’m most proud of is Simplifyer — a fintech that pays Gen‑Z users for uploading receipts and transforms those receipts into data that gives financial clarity to users. We also offer businesses insights from that data, so they can understand their customers better.
Q: How has your experience in the Foundry accelerator been so far?
A: I love the cohort. Being a founder can feel lonely — you have days when you struggle with priorities or things feel unclear. Having mentors and a network of peers who understand those challenges offers support and empowerment.
Q: Looking ahead to Demo Day — what can people expect?
A: I’m excited. You’ll see lots of energy. I may bring gifts or merch from Portugal. I’ll be talking about **“Simplifyer nonstop”** — our vision and the momentum behind it.
Q: What’s next for Simplifyer over the next 12 months?
A: We plan to open an office in Wales, raise our first pre‑seed round, and launch the app after beta testing. We already have users in our beta version and over 10,000 people on our waitlist we’re eager to activate.
Q: Is there still space on the waitlist — and how can people connect with you?
A: Yes, there’s room. Head to simplify.io to subscribe. I’m also active on LinkedIn and welcome ideas, chats, or collaborations with fellow founders. Feel free to reach out anytime.
