Inspiration

Our inspiration came from realizing that people around us aren't as fiscally responsible as they should be. Moreover, peers underestimate the long-term potential of saving and investing. Instead, they chase short-term gratification without acknowledging the negative impact it has, as all the small purchases add up.

What does it do?

The app helps people keep themselves accountable and also assists in learning why it's so important to save money. It makes being financially responsible fun.

How does it do that?

Treeso has two parts: The upper part that makes the user accountable by growing a savings tree - the closer you are to your goal - the bigger the tree gets. The lower part helps you learn how to be better with money by providing fun stories and checking understanding of topic.

How it works?

Provides visual representation of your finances as a tree gets watered. Click through lessons to learn about first steps towards financial freedom.
