Market
Focusing on Gen-Z, the largest growing generation in America and in the world.
Problem or Opportunity
Our Target Market wants financial security that allows them the freedom to lead lifestyle of full of experiences and free of worry.
However, we're never taught anything about money. Money is taboo, so we don't talk about it or practice it. There is a lack of generational understanding of wealth so we just keep making the same mistakes over and over again. We in follow consumerism the fish in a school. We're born in this environment where capitalism wins with poor behavior of the majority.
This results in money being seen as evil and taboo.

Advantages or differentiators
We know that 85% of financial literacy courses are never completed, and the average adult reads less than 2 books per year. The best way for humans to learn is through experience - which means making mistakes. With money there has never been an affordable way to make mistakes without affecting one's financial future. There have been a few attempts to help, but we know that in 2020 and beyond the way to help Gen Z experience money differently is through a mobile platform that allows them to practice money more like a skill.
