Buy one cup of coffee at Starbucks, invest $1 directly into Starbucks stock.
|
Take it a step further, if you shop at a local store, $1 gets put away as cash in your Grifin account. This can be used as savings or to buy fractional shares of any other stock on the Grifin app. The Greatest Revolution in Finance is Now.
|
What Problem Are They Solving?
- 10.6 trillion dollars missing from retirement accounts today.
- The average person starts investing at 31, when they're allowed to open a brokerage account at 18.
- 13 years of missing compound interest means that every retiree should have twice as much money in their bank account as they currently do.
- Our goal? Simplify the process of investing, diminish the "it's complicated" barrier to entry and lower the traditional starting age of investing.

What's Innovative About Their Solution?
The patent pending Grifin technology is the first app of its kind to utilize fractional shares around spending habits. Now you can own fractions of stock from any publicly traded company, making starting to invest easy and affordable.
