I'm seventeen.

I'm a junior at the Academy of Business and Finance in Florida, and I started building The Daily Capital because no one our age was going to.

I watched the people around me — friends with crypto wallets at sixteen, classmates day-trading during lunch, parents asking me what an ETF was — and realized the gap. My generation is inheriting the largest wealth transfer in history, and most of us learned what we know about money from TikToks and r/wallstreetbets threads.

I wanted something better. A daily ritual, not a course. Five minutes, not five hours. Editorial-grade writing — Bloomberg meets Aesop — paired with a quiz to make sure it sticks.

I'm not waiting until I graduate to learn finance. I'm building the platform I wish I'd had at fourteen.

The newsletter goes out twice a week. The platform updates every weekday morning at 7am ET. The whole thing runs on a streak mechanic borrowed from Duolingo and a design language borrowed from Apple.

If you're a high schooler, a college student, an early-career analyst, or a parent who wants better for the next generation — I wrote this for you.
