We started TeamCache because somebody had to handle the snack-bar money.

The first season I (Maya, our founder) coached my daughter's U10 softball team, I spent more time on the team's finances than I did on softball. Venmo screenshots. A Google Sheet that nobody else updated. A locked envelope of cash in the dugout that I forgot about for three weeks.

The platforms aimed at us were either ancient, expensive, designed for a Division-I athletic department, or all three. The newer apps did messaging or scheduling but not money — and money is the part that turns coaches into accountants.

So we built TeamCache. It's the platform we wished existed: a wallet, a calendar, an inbox, and a card, all wired together for the way youth-sports teams actually run. Free for parents — because parents already pay for everything else. Fair for coaches — because coaches are doing this on volunteer time. And honest about the money: we don't hold a dollar of yours. Our partner bank does. We're the interface.

We're a small team. Some of us came from fintech (Square, Stripe, Cash App). Some of us came from sports (former coaches, a former scout, two ex-PE teachers). Most of us are parents. All of us have, at some point, ended up holding $400 in cash and wondering whose tournament fees they were.

We hope your team gets on the list.
