I built InvestEd IQ to make learning investing more practical and less overwhelming. Instead of just reading content, it combines short lessons with a Portfolio Lab where you build and test portfolios across scenarios like inflation and recessions. It also includes an AI assistant for quick explanations. It covers stocks, bonds, real estate, crypto, portfolio building, behavioral finance, and metals, plus a leaderboard for highest level and longest streak. Would love feedback.

Hey everyone, Julian here, maker of InvestEd IQ. I built this while trying to better understand investing myself. As I was putting it together, I realized that combining short lessons with actually applying concepts helped me retain information and understand different finance terms much more clearly. That’s what led me to think this approach could work well for Gen Z learning styles. The Portfolio Lab became the core idea, letting you build a portfolio and see how it performs across different market scenarios. I’m especially curious whether this kind of hands-on approach actually helps things stick better. This is my first full app, so I’m still learning a lot as I go. Happy to answer anything about how I built it, what worked, and what didn’t. Really appreciate any feedback.
