Soon

What Soon does

Soon (legal entity: Safehaven Labs Inc.) is a US-based fintech operating a fully automated cryptocurrency investing platform targeted at individual retail investors. The product automates both sides of the investment lifecycle — buying via configurable dollar-cost averaging schedules and selling triggered by user debit and credit card spending activity — by connecting to user-owned exchange accounts (Coinbase, Binance, Robinhood, Kraken, Gemini, OKX, ByBit, Bitstamp, and Bitfinex) through Mesh, with custody provided by Fortress Trust under a Nevada Trust framework. Its core technology is a patent-pending cash flow algorithm that pairs invest-and-divest decisions using mean reversion and probability-based asset selection, enhanced by an OpenAI integration for transaction reimbursement matching and supplemented by automated tax-stash, tax-loss harvesting, stop-loss, and reinvesting features.

The product is distributed primarily through self-serve channels: the iOS App Store, Google Play Store, and direct web registration, with a 14-day free trial and a three-tier subscription priced from $19.99 to $159.99 per month on annual billing. The company monetizes through these subscriptions, a 1.99% transfer fee (reduced from 3.69% after the Fortress Trust partnership), and a 50% perpetual revenue-share affiliate program called Soon Share. Go-to-market combines product-led self-serve acquisition with content marketing, PR, and accelerator-driven credibility (Y Combinator Winter 2022 batch, TechCrunch Early Stage Pitch-Off, Falls Fintech cohort).

Soon's customer segments are predominantly US-based retail investors seeking stress-free, near-term access to crypto gains without active portfolio management, with a recently launched Soon Advisory product extending the platform to financial advisors managing client crypto portfolios. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Lehi, Utah (Silicon Slopes), the company has raised approximately $2.1M across an angel round, Y Combinator, and an equity crowdfunding on Republic.
