Building now · First Five

Nobody teaches you money until it's already expensive.

A money simulator for 13–18 year olds. Five years of earning in an afternoon, the first salary, the first flat, the first loan, the month it all goes wrong.

It doesn't exist yet. We're building it and finding out if anyone wants it. The 12 tools below are real and free today.

Your email, nothing else. One message, then silence. What we do with it.

12 tools that work right now

For whoever is already facing these numbers rather than rehearsing them.

Every one answers a decision rather than naming an instrument. That is the whole selection rule, and it is why there are 12 rather than forty.

What First Five actually is

A world, not a course. You're 22, the offer letter is in your hand, and every choice moves numbers you can see, on money that can't hurt you yet.

  1. Year one

    The offer

    It says ₹12L. Find out what actually lands.

  2. Year one

    The flat

    Ten months' deposit in Bengaluru, two in Delhi. Pick one.

  3. Year two

    The friend

    Someone asks for ₹20,000. You have it.

  4. Year three

    The card

    The minimum payment looks manageable. It is not.

  5. Year five

    The March nobody plans for

    The job ends. The first four years decide how long you last.

What it will never be

No card, no wallet, no money we hold. Every other product built for Indian teenagers earns when the teenager spends, so none of them can afford to say "not yet". We can.

Simulated rupees only, and no leaderboard.

For parents and teachers

It's built for 13–18 year olds, so the person we'd write to is you. One message when there's something real to try.
