Shouldered AI / For missionaries and mission families
You be the missionary. We shoulder the rest.
You went to serve people, not to sit up late writing receipts. Shouldered keeps your supporters close, your gifts thanked, and your sending church informed, so your days stay in the field.
"I owe my supporters an update and it has been months."
Silas at the Marketing Desk drafts your prayer letter from your notes and photos, you read it, and it goes out on schedule.
"Did every donor get a thank you and a receipt?"
Matthew at the Finance Desk records each gift and sends the receipt and a personal thank you, so nobody is missed.
"My sending church needs a report by Friday."
Nehemiah at the Operations Desk keeps the report dates and builds the report from what you have already shared, ready for your review.
"I am in a different time zone from everyone."
Your Hero sorts your mail and messages, schedules calls at hours that work for both sides, and reminds you when to reply.
Simon and seven desks of Heroes, working for missionaries.
Sends you one short note a day on what is done and what needs you.
Records gifts, sends receipts, and tracks your budget so you know where support stands.
Turns your notes and photos into prayer letters, newsletters and short posts for supporters.
Keeps your supporter list warm, thanks new partners, and follows up gently when a pledge lapses.
Tracks report dates, visa renewals and travel plans, and prepares reports to your sending church.
Answers routine supporter questions and passes the personal ones to you.
Simon runs HQ: all the tech and all the brain power, and the one you talk to. Each of the seven desks is run by a Hero, and Simon directs all seven and answers for them. A person approves what matters, and legal, tax, medical and financial decisions stay with you and your licensed advisers.
You spend the morning with a family in the village and send three voice notes about it. By evening, Simon has a draft prayer letter waiting, with the photos placed. Two new gifts came in, and both donors already have a receipt and a thank you. The quarterly report for your sending church is ready for you to read and sign.

Start
Start with a Hero for you (and your spouse) at $25 a seat. Add the Small HQ at $750 a month, with $1,000 onboarding once, when the donor work grows.
Grow
As your team or agency grows, HQ scales with seats and hours. Churches get free Hero seats. When a member's business joins, its church gets an HQ, free.
Your Hero is here to improve the human. Your HQ, led by Simon, is here to improve your business.
Two prices, and 50 Founding places.
First, what the work costs you today. A full-time office manager runs most small businesses about $4,000 to $5,000 a month with taxes and benefits, and goes home at five. Every call nobody answers is a job that goes to someone else.
Business coaching often costs $5,000 to $7,500 for one session day. HQ does the work every month, with a coach running the Shouldered Way and workshops included. Already have a coach? HQ works alongside them.
Founding 50: of 50 places left. When they are gone, this price closes.

Prices are per month. Only the first 50 companies (the Founding 50) get the Founding price with a two-year commitment, paid yearly by bank transfer, and keep it for as long as they renew. Pay yearly by bank transfer and take 3% off. Onboarding is $1,000 for Small and $2,000 for Medium, paid once, and free at Shouldered events. It is one 1-hour call: technical setup with our technical team first, then your business with our team. The person who sold you HQ joins your onboarding call. Paid for the year, you get a named person who checks in every month. Month to month gets standard support. Twenty-one people and up is built around you. More seats are $25 each (Founding price $20), and more hours $12.50 each; hours count only while HQ is working, like minutes on a phone plan.
Enterprise and government. For large companies and public agencies. Custom plans start at $5,000 a month. Pilots are paid. We start SOC 2 Type 1 work in 2027. Texas agencies: we are working toward TX-RAMP.
If HQ does not complete at least 40 hours of real admin work a month for you in your first six months (100 hours on Medium), tell us by the end of month five and we refund every dollar you paid for the plan.
The onboarding fee is not refunded. The guarantee asks one thing of you: let HQ do its work. Give it the access it needs and review its work in good faith. If our records show you kept declining or blocking the work HQ set out to do, the guarantee does not apply. If we see that happening, we tell you in writing so you can fix it.
The six months start the day HQ goes live for you. The Founding 50 are included. The guarantee covers HQ only, never coach fees.
Will it write in my voice?
Your Hero learns how you write. You read and approve every letter before it goes to supporters.
What about tax receipts?
We prepare and send receipts the way your agency or adviser sets them up. Tax decisions stay with you and your licensed advisers.
Is my supporter data private?
Your private data stays in your own system. We do not sell or share your list.
I have patchy internet. Does it still work?
HQ keeps working on its own, so the work moves even when you are offline. You catch up when you connect.
Is this a Christian company?
Yes, Christian-run and proud of it, and open to everyone. Churches get free Hero seats. When a member's business joins, its church gets an HQ, free.

Simon is named for Simon of Cyrene, who stepped in and shouldered the cross for another. Shouldered takes no outside funding and is open to everyone. The technology comes from the OurWorld group: ten years of work, 60+ engineers, running in 20+ countries.
