“Investie is a financial literacy app designed to help Gen Z build money confidence through gamified learning. We teach users how money actually works, from credit cards and budgeting to stocks and ETFs, before they risk real capital. The app breaks down complex financial concepts into short, interactive lessons, quizzes, and real-world scenarios, making learning feel intuitive and engaging.A billion gen z are investing in stocks, but only 17% say they feel confident about their knowledge of markets. When I was 19, I lost thousands of dollars in the stock market because I was following influencer advice. I tried to learn through books and financial websites, but they were dry, confusing, and hard to stay consistent with. Unable to find an engaging, reliable, and fun resource for me to learn stocks, I decided to create Duolingo for money.Investie gamifies boring financial literacy information and makes them into bite sized modules. With each level completed, users get bamboo shoots to exchange for giftcards. With just 5 minutes a day, in 3 months, users go from feeling lost about money to making confident financial decisions.”

I am the founder of Investie and the president of Student Association of Industrial Designers.
