I'm a first-year student at UConn. Growing up, money was the one topic nobody in my household wanted to touch.
When I got to campus, I realized how unprepared I was. Taxes, credit scores, budgeting — I had to figure it all out on my own.
So I built the thing I wished existed. Not because I had all the answers, but because I didn't.

| NerdWallet / Investopedia | Walls of text aimed at 30-year-olds with no interactivity or engagement | ✓ Interactive modules with quizzes, assessments, XP, and decision simulations |
| University workshops | Low attendance, no follow-up, impossible to measure outcomes | ✓ Always-on platform with admin dashboard tracking completion and performance |
| Banking apps | Track spending but don't teach why or how to improve | ✓ Teaches the concepts first, then lets students apply them in simulated scenarios |

Pricing coming soon. Stacked is currently in development — we're working to finalize our plans.
Stacked is completely free during the current beta period for all enrolled UConn students. In the future, Stacked will be offered to universities through an annual per-seat license fee. Students will never pay out of pocket.
Each module is designed to be thorough, not rushed. Modules include in-depth lessons, interactive scenarios, quizzes, and assessments to make sure you actually understand the material. You can work through them at your own pace and pick up where you left off.
Not at all. Stacked was built for students who are starting from zero. Every concept is explained from the ground up with real campus examples. No jargon, no prerequisites.
Yes. Your XP, badges, streaks, and module progress are all saved to your account. Pick up right where you left off anytime.
University administrators see aggregate data only: completion rates, average scores, and overall engagement. Your individual answers and progress are private to you.
Stacked is currently piloting at UConn. We're actively exploring partnerships with other universities. If your school is interested, reach out through our contact form.
