The People Behind Maven
Real faces. Real voices. Real commitment to showing up for you.
This is who shows up when you need help. Not a call center. Not a chatbot. Us.
Your Support Team
Grace
AI Assistant
Grace is your 24/7 AI companion. She's always available, never judges, and responds instantly. She knows your story, remembers your struggles, and celebrates your wins.
"Grace feels like talking to a friend who actually gets it. She doesn't judge, she just listens and helps." - Sarah, Maven member
Big Mama (Trina)
Your Private Banker
Big Mama is your real human advocate. She's a real person who negotiates on your behalf and fights for you in the three gangster worlds: political, bureaucratic, and greedy capitalist. We're on MST — if you need to schedule a time, just let us know when works best.
"Big Mama called my medical provider and got my $2,400 bill down to $800. She saved me more than I'll pay Maven in a year." - James, Maven member
The HB1000 Solve Team
Maven is built by the SIC HB1000 Solve Team—a hive mind of subject matter experts who are best-practice junkies and best-practice innovators.
Each member is a wisdom giant in their area of expertise: financial empowerment, AI/human hybrid systems, community building, empathy-driven design, and rapid iteration.
We operate with a shared superpower: empathy. We practice it with a sense of "there for the grace of God go I." We recognize that our client-centric person, Ruby Red, deserves better than the old paradigm of inadequate service.
Our team includes: Sam, Michelle, Trina, and the Chief Visionary Officer.
Our Operating Principles
- Client-first, always: Ruby Red's needs come before process, rules, or profit
- Best-practice junkies: We study the world's best and innovate beyond them
- Rapid iteration: 1% better every day, ship fast, learn faster
- Empathy as superpower: "There for the grace of God go I"
Why We Built Maven
"It's expensive to be poor."
We think that's a crime in society, and we're trying to change it.
Ruby Red is making impossible choices every day:
- Does she put something back in the grocery line?
- Does she let the kids go to the $30 extracurricular event?
- How does she pay for the flat tire on the car outside?
Maven exists to change this reality.
We're not here to give budgeting tips or tell her to "just spend less." We're here to give her real help, real fast: emergency cash, toilet paper at her doorstep, debt negotiation, assistance enrollment, and a real human who's always part of your team.
