Why We’re Killing Receipts
Receipts are broken. They’re everywhere - in your inbox, photo roll, screenshots, wallet, and beyond - but never where you need them. For freelancers and 1099s especially, it’s chaos: tax time turns into weeks of chasing paperwork, and deductions slip through the cracks.
The Problem
Big companies have finance teams and bloated expense software. Freelancers, small business owners, and even plenty of corporate employees? They’re left to fend for themselves with spreadsheets, folders, or a shoebox on the floor.
Our Solution
We started Terrapin to kill receipts - permanently. Our platform automatically finds receipts wherever they live, enriches them with context, and classifies them correctly as business or personal. No more wasted time. No more missed deductions. No more stress when your accountant calls.
Why Freelancers First
We’re building first for freelancers, because they’ve been ignored for too long. They face the same reporting and compliance burden as corporates, without the tools. Terrapin gives them the superpowers they’ve never had.
Expanding the Impact
The truth is - clean, automated expense data is valuable everywhere. Small businesses, corporates, and accounting firms all benefit from better data. That’s why we’re already speaking with CPAs and partners who see Terrapin as a game-changer for their clients.
Join Us Early
We’re just getting started. If you want in early, join the waitlist. If you’re an accountant or partner who wants to explore working together, reach out. And if you’re an investor who believes in killing receipts, we should talk.
Receipts are dead. The future of expenses is Terrapin.
