You’re looking at the new SoLo. A new Marketplace, built to turn real-time data into insight every member can act on, whether you need capital this week or you’re building wealth for years to come. SoLo IQ, your financial intelligence guide in your pocket. Ask about your lending performance or get help building a monthly budget. It’s private and tailored to your money questions. Light mode and dark mode, and a smoother experience in every interaction. Lend, Borrow, Bank, and Gain in one app that finally looks as sharp as the intelligence underneath it. We rebuilt this from the ground up so we’d have a foundation strong enough to carry what comes next. A lot is coming, and all of it is being built for you. Swipe through. Then open the app and ask IQ to get started

This marks a new chapter for SoLo. Years of real loans, real repayments, and real members showing up for each other gave us an intelligence engine built on real life. Now we’re putting it to work. SoLo is the financial intelligence ecosystem for every class. Borrow, lend, bank, and gain, all in one place. This is just the beginning. Bigger things are on the way.

Our co-founder @rodneybwilliams takes the main stage at @elcinfo Mid-Level Managers’ Symposium, Oct 30 at 1 PM. His session, “Betting on Yourself,” covers spotting opportunity early, taking calculated risks, and what building SoLo taught him about leading through disruption.

Your money already has plans for Halloween.

Payday can still be days away when the bills show up, and for a mompreneur juggling business expenses, a household and kids, those gaps are part of the math. She uses SoLo to bridge them by requesting funds from real people, on her own terms, straight from the app. If you're on the other side of that equation, you can lend and make a return while helping others. Download SoLo at the link in our bio.

October has a way of finding every loose dollar you have. A free trial renews on its own, the rent goes up, and someone at dinner suggests splitting the bill evenly after ordering the most. We put sixteen of those moments on one card. Mark the ones that have happened to you this month and tell us your score in the comments. Payday is the free space, because you've earned that one.

Having a full-time job used to mean you had some cushion. For a lot of people, that's no longer true. Our 2026 Cash Poor Report looks at who's living paycheck to paycheck, what keeps them there, and how quickly fees on everyday borrowing add up. If any of it sounds familiar, you're far from the only one. Read the full report at thecashpoor.com

Rodney will join the Founder Spotlight panel, sharing lessons from building SoLo Funds, alongside brunch, programming, and a networking reception. Saturday, Sept 26, 2026 | Blackbird House, Culver City | 2:00 PM PST If you're building something and want real insights into what it takes to go from founder to CEO, this one's worth checking out

On SoLo, you can earn a return while helping others. Your money goes straight to a real person in your community who needs it, for a car repair, a rent gap, or getting to payday. You choose who you lend to and how much, and more than 2.5 million loans have been funded member to member so far. Download SoLo and see who's asking. Lending carries risk, so read the terms in the app.

Homecoming season is a good time to look at what came out of those campuses. The Root's new list, From HBCU to CEO, features Black founders who got their start at HBCUs, and our co-founder @rodneybwilliams (Howard University) is on it alongside Oprah Winfrey, Will Packer, Janice Bryant Howroyd and Dr. Lonnie Johnson. Between them they've built a billion-dollar staffing company, a film slate that's grossed over $1 billion, a lipstick brand sold nationwide and the Super Soaker. Swipe through all nine, then tell us in the comments which HBCU is showing out this homecoming. Full list via @theroot. #HBCU #Homecoming #BlackFounders #BlackBusiness #FromHBCUtoCEO

Small, steady progress adds up faster when a community backs it. Showing up for each other is still one of the most reliable financial strategies there is.

Community shows up loudest in the small, unglamorous work. Grateful for every person who treats their neighbors like family. 🙏
