Our Story

We started as a rogue Slack channel sharing survival tips for the London rental market. It turned out that thousands of people wanted financial breakdowns written by human beings, not corporate robots. Mint Intuition was born to deliver sharp, funny, and deeply practical weekly digests straight to your inbox. We don't sell products or promise overnight riches; we just translate the economic noise into actual common sense.
