Sprouted

Hey everyone, Frank here 👋 I had my first son this past February, and like most new parents, I wanted to do everything I could to set him up for a strong financial future. What I didn’t expect was how complicated that process would be — from navigating custodial accounts to comparing savings options, the experience felt outdated, confusing, and inaccessible for everyday parents. When I started talking with other parents, I realized almost everyone shared the same frustration: they wanted to invest for their kids, but didn’t know where to start or who to trust. That’s what inspired me to build Sprouted — a simple, intuitive investing platform designed to help parents, relatives, and friends easily invest in a child’s future. Sprouted will let families open custodial accounts, contribute through shared gifting links or birthday funds, and even diversify with both traditional investments and crypto — all in one clean, transparent platform. We’re still early and focused on doing things the right way. Our goal is to get fully registered and compliant with the proper financial regulatory bodies before we officially launch, which we’re projecting for Spring 2026. For now, we’re building our community, testing ideas, and learning from parents like you. If this resonates with you — or if you’ve ever tried (and struggled) to set up an investment account for your child — I’d love your feedback and support as we get ready for launch. — Frank, Founder of Sprouted 🌱
