Anyone you deem worthy of keeping you accountable. Popular options include a mentor, coach, office friend, maybe even a sibling!

At the moment we do not offer that as it becomes complicated for the referee to adjudicate your progress. For now, still best to appoint someone you know as referee.

You can. To confirm changes and for it to take effect, you will need to contact your referee to get the approval pin sent to them via email.

For now, no. But, you can install on Android, iOS (phones and tablets) as progressive web app (PWA). It will then behave as a "mobile app". Here's how:

1. • Open app.stakeyourgrowth.com on:

     1. Android (Chrome)

        • Press "triple dots" (top right corner)

        • Press "install app"

        • You can now launch app directly from home screen icon, just like other native apps

     2. iOS (Safari)

        • Press "Share" (middle bottom icon, box with upward arrow)

        • Press "Add to Home Screen"

        • You can now launch app directly from home screen icon, just like other native apps

At this point, no. We have designed it to be as light touch as possible for referees. They take action via email only, for now. We have plans to expand the referee role to be in app, but that's for later.

Yes. Once your challenges are deemed loss either by user inaction and/or referee denial, a stake charge will automatically kick in and your card on file charged. This only happens if you are on a paid plan which supports actual money charges for stakes. If you are on a free plan, then no actual money will be charged.

There is no need to "test" the feature either. We rarely offer refunds, so do keep that in mind!

Our startup receives that money and reinvests that back into the following areas:

• Maintenance - team member salaries, general system upkeep

• Innovation - new features to help users grow even more over the long term

• Mission - onboard more users because we believe this world is a better place if we all had a system that kept us honest and accountable to growth! Some call this marketing but we like "mission" better! 

We are aware that the first thing that comes to mind is to donate to charity. While that is a kind idea, it doesn't abide by the psychological principal of "making it hurt" when one misses their due date. This makes the product less effective as making one feel good when missing a due date is not at all the point of this product. We are exploring ideas on how to implement a similar idea with high effectiveness for the user. Stay tuned.

If you are a paid subscriber, thank you! You are why we get to do what we do! A rising tide lifts all boats!

Yes, absolutely! Because easy cancellations can be a quick one-tap opt-out for some, we require your referee to be involved in the cancellation process. When you try to cancel in app, your referee will get an email with approval pin. Ask them for the pin, enter it, and you can proceed to cancel.

Once cancelled, the entire app will behave like a free plan where you will be limited to 5 challenges and no real monies will  be used for stakes.

We typically do not offer refunds. We try to make the app as simple and clear as possible with zero gotchas. All charges are only done after the user accepts the rules of the platform. This ensures the user understand how and when charges kick in. However, we understand there can be last minute emergencies that makes one unable to complete their challenges. In the rare case this happens, ask your referee to email us requesting a refund for the specific challenge and we will consider a refund. Subscriptions are non-refundable.

We believe those who generate meaningful value in society should be rewarded. Our app generates value for our users and value is expected back in return. It's a two way street! We hope you have found our product useful and worthy of some money! If yes, we'd be glad if you subscribed and let us continue to build products that connects people to be more accountable to each other. If you do not find value in what we offer, hey no harm no foul, don't subscribe and we'll try our best to live up to your standards in the future. We're always trying to improve!

We love hearing from our users! Please email jon@stakeyourgrowth.com. While we cannot guarantee anything, we promise to give it a fair hearing.

The opposite! We are fully bootstrapped and need to charge a small subscription to keep things sustainable on the long run. This means we do not need to subject our service to suspicious data practices like selling user data (we don't!). We want to build this as a solid small business, not a giant "big tech" mess. We're not chasing overnight monetary growth. We believe in helping you grow which then helps us grow when you subscribe willingly to our service. A rising tide lifts all boats!

We hope you find our product useful and support us in our progress!
