What is GravyStack? | Accelerating Financial Independence in a Fun Way

Watch

Game. Learn. Earn.

Parents are super busy. Finding enough time to teach your kids about how money works might not make it to the top of your list as often as you'd like. That’s where we can help. Unlike other banking apps on the market for kids, GravyStack does more than teach kids how to spend money. It empowers kids to become the hero of their own financial story.

Autonomous learning: Help your kids learn essential life skills through independent play.
Real banking: Kids gain access to real FDIC-insured checking and savings accounts and a debit card backed by Mastercard.
Education that’s fun: Kids learn to make and manage their money through fun-to-play games set in the world of Windfall.

64.5%

64.5% of college students run out of money before semester end at some point in college. With the GravyStack Money Machine, kids always know what their money situation is and learn how to improve it.

36.6%

Only 36.6% of teenagers aged 16–19 work. How can we expect them to manage money if they don‘t have money to manage? GravyStack’s three jar system teaches kids to only spend the money they actually have in their Spend Jar. GravyStackers also learn the pitfalls of credit and loans.

Finances are a mess in the US. Fixing finances one family at a time.

$16,048

On average, U.S. households have $16,048 in debt. Kids as young as 8 years old are already making and managing money and setting up their spend, save, and share jars inside of GravyStack.

We want to change that. Early learning causes lifelong benefits.

Let's play.

Objective: Character
Character Traits Canyon
