Money is collective power.

We believe shared access is the key to unlocking team innovation. That’s why we built Papertree for groups to make financial decisions faster, and with more trust.

How it works

Collective control

Rather than any one admin, give everyone on the team the ability to help execute financial decisions with their vote.

Automation

Once votes are in, the decision is recorded transparently and money is sent automatically - no extra work necessary.

Fiscal hosting 

Papertree acts as a fiscal host so you don’t need a legal entity for your fund and can create new ones as workstreams evolve.

The roots of our tree

Papertree started as a food justice initiative to help our neighbors in Central Brooklyn share funds for groceries. We continue to support our community and are grateful for their participation in inspiring this vision.
