Have you considered other forms of financial literacy?

For example, many people don't use credit cards properly.

Many people don't take advantage of lower interest loans.

Many people don't understand the importance of certain forms of permanent / life / disability insurance.

These are all things I hope my kids get to learn _before leaving high school_!

Your tool feels like it could really expand financial literacy across the board, not just for investments.

I love the way you think! 100% we are considering all of this.

Right now we are a team of 3 and we haven't had time to expand our business into those other niche's. But you best believe we have our eyes set on all the above! There is such a big need to have easier/more fun ways to get the public more aware about these things.

I'd love to hear more thoughts if you have any :)

There are lots of schools and nonprofits that offer this education. It's not a profitable business model.

OP is expecting to get money from stock pickers and day traders, which is a much more lucrative market than the average "person who doesn't understand retail banking products".
