Exciting update! We just submitted IdeaLift to the ChatGPT app directory - capture ideas conversationally, get structured specs, and commit directly to GitHub/Jira/Linear. Also just became an official Microsoft Partner.

How it works:

Someone shares an idea in Slack/Discord

Team reacts with an emoji ( )

AI extracts, summarizes, and creates a GitHub/Linear issue

Most investing platforms either dump complex charts on you or oversimplify everything into "just buy this ETF." We built something different.

The problem: Starting to invest at 30+ is intimidating. Online investment communities gatekeep. Traditional education is boring. You want to understand what you're buying, not just follow tips.

The problem: 165+ million retail investors worldwide, but only 18% of young adults have basic financial literacy. Existing platforms either gatekeep beginners or overwhelm them with information dumps. Where's the safe, engaging place to actually learn?

The solution: Startvest.ai combines gamified education, community learning, and powerful analytical tools in one platform. Born from an IT engineer's frustration with traditional investing education, we've built what we wished existed from day one.

What makes us different:
Gamified learning - XP, levels, and achievements that make financial education addictive
Discord-native community - Real-time learning with peers, not intimidating forums
Education-only focus - Zero financial advice, 100% skill building
Beginner-friendly - Built for the 70% of investors under 45 who are tired of being talked down to.

We're targeting the massive gap between "I want to learn investing" and "I actually understand it." No hot tips, no get-rich-quick schemes just the tools and community to build real financial literacy at your own pace.

Hey Product Hunt! After 20+ years making IT easier for others, I hit a wall at 42 trying to learn investing, online communities weren't welcoming to beginners, information was overwhelming, and there was no safe space to practice. So I did what engineers do: built my own tools (Python scripts, AI analysis, automated scanners) to make sense of it all.
When I realized I wasn't the only smart person struggling with this same problem, it got me thinking about how many capable people are locked out of financial literacy simply because the learning experience sucks. Sometimes the best solutions come from scratching your own itch. Who else here has solved their own problem and thought "wait, other people need this too"?
