Budgeting apps were
Never built for travellers

We built BudgetBro on the road, not in an office. Generic finance apps track your Netflix and rent. BudgetBro tracks your tuk tuks, hostels and late night munchies. Built by travellers, for travellers.

Meet the Team

Three people who've lived on the road and got tired of doing the maths in their heads.

Joshua Rawlinson

Founder

Over a decade of entrepreneurial experience. Josh has owned and operated businesses across multiple industries and turned BudgetBro from a backpacker frustration into a fully developed product.

Samar Sheila

Co-Founder

Leads research, outreach and community. Samar brings expertise in organisation, customer service and data management and makes sure BudgetBro connects with the right travellers and partners worldwide.

Nathan James

Head of Digital & Growth

Responsible for digital strategy, SEO, and content across the BudgetBro platform. Nathan ensures that travellers can find us when they need us and that the site performs as well as the product.

The Problem

67% of travellers blow their budget. At the same time, they spend up to 14% of their day jumping between apps and sites just to plan and book their trip. Current apps don’t help, they just record what you’ve already spent with no understanding of the decisions behind it.

Our Solution

BudgetBro brings AI companions into your daily spending, responding in real time with personalised feedback based on how you travel. It helps you make better decisions in the moment, while pulling the rest of your trip into one place.
