Late jar for meetings.
Auto-donates to the cause your team picks.
We track your team's calendar and Meet attendance, calculate $1 per minute late, and route it to your chosen charity automatically. We take 10% to keep the lights on. You stop being late.
How it works
Zero setup on every meeting. Configure once, we handle the rest.
Your calendar knows
We read the scheduled start of every team meeting in your workspace. No manual logging, no honour system.
Meet knows you're late
Google Meet reports when each attendee actually joined. The delta is your lateness, down to the second.
Charity gets paid
$1 per minute late, auto-routed to the charity your team picks. We take 10% to keep the lights on.
We eat our own cooking
The jar is freshly poured. We're warming up — check back in a few days, someone's bound to be late.
Why we built this
We built this at UpScale because our own team was consistently a few minutes late to every sync. Instead of nagging each other, we turned it into a fundraiser for a cause we all care about: TIACS — mental health support for Australian tradies, truckies, and farmers — via the Gold Coast Marathon our team is running.
It worked. People are still late, but now it feels like they're doing something good when it happens.
We figured other teams might want the same thing. So here we are.
— Antoine, UpScale Business Coaching
Where the money goes
Your team picks any charity that accepts Stripe donations. 100% of the donation reaches the charity. We take a separate 10% platform fee — it covers hosting, API costs, and keeps us building. No skimming, no surprises.
TIACS is an ATO-endorsed Australian charity (ABN 58 631 207 031). Donations over $2 are tax-deductible.

FAQ
Will I actually be charged?
Yes — that's the whole point. Each minute you're late to a scheduled meeting becomes a $1 donation to the charity your team picks. You pre-authorise it once when you join. Opt out anytime.
Is it mandatory for my team?
Never. Every participant opts in individually and signs a one-page charter. Managers can't sign anyone up on their behalf — that would defeat the point.
Where does the money go?
Your team picks any charity that accepts Stripe donations. 100% of each donation reaches them via Stripe Connect. We take a separate 10% platform fee on top — it covers hosting, API costs, and building the thing.
What data do you collect?
Only what we need to calculate lateness: your Google Meet join times, the scheduled start from your calendar, and your email. We don't listen to calls, read transcripts, or share data with anyone. See our privacy policy for full details.
How early-stage is this?
Very. UpScale is customer zero — the stats above are our actual team. We're onboarding the next handful of teams personally so we can fix things fast. If that's the kind of relationship you want with a tool, you're in the right place.
Can I pick my own charity?
Yes. Any charity with a Stripe account. If you don't pick one, the default is TIACS — Australian mental health support for tradies, truckies, and farmers.
