Olga Kolgusheva
Founder of Bento
I created Bento because, as a web designer running a Squarespace studio, I became frustrated with all the CRM tools.
Whenever I use a CRM for creatives, I’m really using it for one thing: sending a proposal with a contract and invoice to a client. And the proposal design matters—the way it looks can directly impact my conversion rate.
What frustrated me was that most CRM tools try to do everything. They’re packed with features, complicated automations, and setup processes, while the one thing I actually care about isn’t done particularly well. Moreover, you usually need to hire someone to figure out a CRM!
So I designed Bento. Bento does one thing: beautiful, high-converting proposals with payments built in.
It should take you about 20 minutes to duplicate an existing proposal page, use AI to tailor the sections, paste in your discovery call transcript, make a few adjustments, and send it to your client.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
