StartVest guides young adults through financial literacy — from "what even is an ETF" to building a real retirement plan. 6 structured lessons, an AI coach (WealthBot), flashcards for key finance terms, and an XP system to keep you motivated. Built solo by a 16-year-old student from Germany.

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Fabian, 16 years old, and StartVest is my first real product, which I've built alongside school after I pitched the idea in a social studies class about Germany's pension crisis. What started as a school idea quickly became something I couldn't let go of. I'm pretty deep into both finance and tech, and the combination of seeing what was missing in financial education for young people and discovering what Claude Code and I could build together in just a day or two, that's when I knew this had to become real! I won't pretend it's finished. My mind is still flooded with ideas and there's so much I want to add. But that's exactly why I'm here! I need real feedback from real people to keep building in the right direction. Try it, break it, tell me what's missing. I can take it. 😄 Thanks for checking it out!

@fabian_builds Impressive work, especially balancing this alongside school. I just upvoted StartVest and have a lot of respect for anyone who turns a classroom idea into a real product. Keep listening to users, stay curious, and you'll learn more than most people do in years.

@spotch_founder Thank you! This means a lot to me. Turning this school idea into something real has and will teach me a lot of things. And I just got started! Staying curious is basically my default mode at this moment.
Appreciate your kind words!
