Minvest was founded through the Entrepreneurship program at the Academies of Loudoun, a STEM magnet school in Loudoun County that prepares the next generation of leaders and innovators. After discovering shared struggles with investing and developing basic financial literacy skills during their sophomore year, Arjun Setty, CEO, Bi Nguyen, CMO, and Raaga Kodali, COO, began working together to learn more about the pressing issue at hand. After months of market research tied in with the INCubatoredu program at their school, these three individuals - later finding their current CTO, Alejandro Rios - would go on to found a start-up that would equip Gen Z with the tools necessary to take control of their financial future. Today, with a team of over 15 individuals and a $6,000 grant from Modak Makers, Minvest is working tirelessly to develop its exciting product and make a difference in the investing journeys of millions of young individuals.
