Hindsight is what we wish we had three years ago.
The story starts with a Sunday afternoon and a calculator. The founder was preparing for both an Indian and a US tax filing in the same week, with software bills on a US dollar card, an Indian home loan, two Indian credit cards, a US Chase card, and SIPs running on autopay. The data was already in the inbox. The work was assembling it.
We tried Walnut. We tried INDmoney. We tried Mint before it shut down. Each one gave us a dashboard. None of them gave us an action. None of them spoke INR and USD natively. None of them understood that the same Stripe charge could be a Section 37 business expense in India and a refundable VAT line in the UK.
So we started building. Initially it was a single Python script reading Gmail with the Google API. The first useful insight it ever produced was on day eleven: two Dropbox Plus subscriptions auto-renewing on two different Gmail accounts, neither opened in eight months. It had cost $480. We cancelled both, and the script kept getting better.
Hindsight is that script grown up, with workers, encryption, and a Mercury- quality interface. After 90 days of clean insight output on the founder's accounts and a small invited cohort, Hindsight is now live and open to anyone who wants it.
If you are an operator with one foot in India and one in the US, and you have ever lost a weekend to a spreadsheet trying to figure out what you actually spent, write to us. We would like to hear what you would want it to find.
