Launching 2027

Solacē

AI-native tax platform.

Filing taxes is a high-stakes annual decision that today's software treats as a forms-entry workflow. Solacē rebuilds it from the ground up around machine learning that reads your full financial context, explains every decision, and finds deductions a human accountant would catch. Targeting individual filers and sole-proprietor small businesses for the 2027 tax year.

Business model

How Mistiq makes money.

Mistiq is a digital-native consumer-software business. Revenue comes from recurring consumer subscriptions, B2B plans sold to employers, performance-based affiliate revenue, and a future referral marketplace. All products run on Google Cloud.

01

Consumer subscriptions

Tiered monthly plans on Hiro (Free, Pro $19/mo, Elite $39/mo). Solacē will launch with seasonal and annual plans for tax filers. Subscriptions are the primary revenue line.

02

B2B employer plans

Hiro sells employer-facing plans for sourcing, swipe-to-screen candidate discovery, and export tooling. Per-seat and per-post pricing.

03

Affiliate & sponsored

Performance-based revenue from outbound clicks on aggregated job listings and featured-listing placements for employers. Transparent to users; supplements subscription revenue.

04

Referral marketplace

Future revenue stream. Companies post hire bounties, Hiro users share unique referral links, Mistiq takes a 15 to 20% platform fee on successful hires. Requires the user base Hiro is building today.

Vision

We don't build to fill a portfolio.
We build to matter.

Every product Mistiq releases will be category-defining. We take the time to get it right, launch when it's ready, and iterate relentlessly. The world has enough mediocre software.

Quality First

Ship when it's excellent, not when it's convenient.

People-Centric

Technology should serve people, not the other way around.

Relentless Iteration

Launch, learn, improve. Every single day.
