Our Story & Mission

What is abelo?

Tabelo is a Chicago-based project built to remove the awkwardness and friction from splitting bills. Whether it's dinner with friends, shared apartment costs, or a night out you generously covered, Tabelo makes settling up simple, fair, and fast.

Born from the same frustrations we all share; from "I covered the bill but lost money on tax and tip" to "How do we split shared groceries?", Tabelo rethinks how people actually split costs in real life.
With a focus on clean design and real-world usability, the goal is to make splitting bills feel natural, not transactional.

Our Mission

We're building the fastest, fairest bill-splitting experience possible; powered by smart receipt parsing, real-time item or percentage splitting, and seamless Venmo integration.

Tabelo isn't just about math, it's about removing social friction so people can focus on moments, not money.
