Financial advisors for Gen-Z
We built a service that pairs Gen-Z users with a money manager who helps them get money for college, build credit through a debit card, offers a savings account paying 5% interest, and helps them make more money. It's designed to keep users from messing up their finances in their 20s, all for $20 a month.
We live in New York, and our company is and would remain based in New York after YC.
New York is where our team lives and where our early users are. It's a financial center with access to talent and partners relevant to fintech and consumer finance.
