A solution to the financial literacy crisis

The financial literacy crisis is genuinely bad. California just mandated it in school curriculums, but we all know how that goes. It will probably become another filler class that nobody takes seriously. And for the rest of the world, financial literacy is not taught at all.

There are plenty of resources out there. Courses, apps, YouTube videos. But how many times have you started something like that and abandoned it halfway through? Not because you are lazy, but because you just do not care enough to keep going. There is nothing pulling you back.

That is exactly what Finnley fixes. Finnley is a financial literacy app where you have a virtual squirrel companion who lives on a world map that grows as you learn. Complete a module and your pet's world expands. It is not about streaks or points. It is about building something you actually care about, which gives you a reason to come back that no other app has figured out yet.

We placed 3rd out of 63 teams at USC Techstars Startup Weekend and we are launching our beta in the coming 1-2 weeks. If this resonates with you, join the waitlist at learnwithfinnley.com. And a follow ahead of launch would mean a lot.
