Market Opportunity
Young professionals know they should invest but are intimidated. A course that demystifies investing — index funds, ETFs, retirement accounts, dollar-cost averaging — in plain language, with AI tools to simulate portfolios and answer questions, serves a massive beginner market.
The Idea
Build 'Investing Made Simple.' Modules: why invest (compound interest visualized), account types (401k, IRA, Roth, taxable), asset allocation, index funds vs individual stocks, dollar-cost averaging, avoiding common mistakes, and building a simple portfolio. AI chatbot answers student questions 24/7. Price $49–99.

- Include an AI-powered portfolio simulator — students can experiment with allocations risk-free
- Create a 'First $1,000 Invested' challenge — guides students through actually opening an account and investing
