Easyplan의 사업 내용

Easyplan is an investment app for beginner investors in India (kind of a cross between Betterment and Qapital in the US). We also provide users with a credit card secured by their investments. We launched with money market funds and have ~40,000 customers who’ve invested (~40% MoM growth). The pandemic spurred interest among new investors, and our AUM has grown 3x since April 2020. And we’ve done this with a cost of acquisition that is 10% of the industry average. Here’s the problem we see. Only 10% of the 100 million middle-income Indian workers have invested in the markets. This is despite the fact that they save ~30% of their income, making this a $325B potential market in assets under management. However, current investment apps in India are built for active investors. With over 16,000+ mutual funds and 5000+ stocks to choose from, they are far too complicated for beginners, who make up most of the market. We’re building an AI - driven investment planning software that is designed for beginners. Users use our conversational AI to get diversified mutual fund portfolios tailored to their goals. We also offer users a credit card secured by their investments, so they can earn return without losing liquidity. In terms of business model, we make commissions on the asset we manage, and interchange fees on the fund. We estimate we can make $12 per user per year, which is 6x our current acquisition cost of $2 per investor.

We live and operate out of Maharashtra, India, and the company would continue being based here after YC.

Our user base is in India, especially among middle-income earners. Being in Maharashtra lets us stay close to our market and manage a distributed team while connecting with India's growing fintech ecosystem.

자주 묻는 질문

Easyplan의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 Easyplan의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. Easyplan과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
