About us

Rapunzl leverages the connectivity of social media to foster a competitive mobile community centered around financial markets. We’re like fantasy football for stocks, except instead of tracking the percentage of players starting Julio Jones, you can track the percentage of investors who are long or short a given stock. We believe this will transform the way we source market sentiment and will grow into an essential financial information platform. . Currently, the generation which led to the rise of social media is entering their peak-earning years yet they distrust the financial system. Rapunzl offers an alternative. A risk-free community to learn to invest and compete for cash prizes. This earn-to-learn model drives user engagement and allows novice investors to capture upside without having to risk their hard-earned money. By utilizing Rapunzl's intuitive mobile interface, users assess trading strategies against historical data, communicate market theories with their peers, follow successful investors, and compete in trading competitions. Rapunzl benefits millennials and revolutionizes the way in which investors interact with financial markets.

    Rapunzl Co-Founder | Forbes 30U30 Education | 2022 Yass Finalist & 2023 Yass Fellow

    What a crazy year!! From being named a Yass Prize Finalist to partnering with NBA legends and launching an Educator Platform, and now this… Thrilled to be recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30 for advancing financial opportunities for students across the country. We started Rapunzl to teach kids about money and I’m eternally grateful to have incredible supporters like Jeanne Allen, Michael Musante and of course, Jeff and Janine Yass for recognizing how critical financial literacy is for students. My partner Myles and I say it all the time, but this really is only the beginning. Excited to expand in 2024 and begin developing a middle school Financial Math program. https://lnkd.in/ekdqmMS6

  • 📚 Did you know that 27 states now require high school students to take a personal finance course to graduate? That means there’s 23 states that know money makes the world go ‘round, but aren’t investing in teaching their kids about it! Let's equip our future leaders with the knowledge they need to thrive, and ensure that every high school student, regardless of their zip code, has access to a quality financial education. 💼 #FinancialLiteracy #MoneyMatters

  • We’re thrilled to announce that Rapunzl will be at #NCTM next week in Washington, DC! It can be hard to fit a full personal finance course into a class schedule. That’s why the Rapunzl team is connecting with math and CTE teachers to discuss how Rapunzl can be embedded as an asynchronous learning tool for students. We offer teachers a real-time simulator for their students and the ability to create customized courses, with 100s of hours of content for students to access through a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Swing by our booth to learn more and grab some sweet Rapunzl socks! #FinancialLiteracy

  • Everyone wishes they learned more about money as a kid. Because the most important part of compound growth is time in the market! But while financial education has become incredibly important for schools across the country, understanding the finances of the teachers providing that education is rare. Teacher pensions are incredibly complicated (perhaps by design) but it’s important for everyone - not just teachers - to understand how they work. 🧐 These pensions are paying the educators responsible for teaching the next generation of innovators - and it’s your taxpayer dollars funding it - so shouldn’t we understand how it works? Join Rapunzl’s upcoming webinar on October 19th at 5pm ET to hear from industry experts and explore the world of teacher pensions by signing up below. https://lnkd.in/dcu97jN5
