Squirrellling is the practice of setting aside small amounts of money consistently — often as part of a community — to build financial stability. It draws on centuries-old traditions like Susu in West Africa and Tandas in Mexico, updated for a digital, daily-contribution model.
Small amounts, saved daily, pooled with others, become something meaningful — for someone today, and for you another day.
Consistency beats magnitude. A tiny daily habit compounds into a real balance and, when combined with community, into shared safety nets. Traditional ROSCAs (Rotating Savings and Credit Associations) have used this logic for over a century across dozens of cultures.
Inside the app, Squirrellling shows up as three features: the Daily Pool (community rotation), Savings Pods (personal goal-based auto-deposits), and the Impact Fund (automatic giving to organizations you choose). All are optional and all are built on the same idea: micro contributions, real outcomes.
