InvestQuest

About the prototype

InvestQuest turns financial fear into confidence. Guided by an AI financial tutor, teens aged 13–17 invest virtual capital in real markets, learning resilience diversification, and long-term discipline. With personalized feedback, they build responsible habits and at 18 seamlessly transition into Commerzbank to begin real wealth creation.

Our vision is to transform financial education from abstract theory into a practical, lifelong skill grounded in real-world experience. We aim to empower young people to become confident, responsible decision-makers in a dynamic economy. This begins with F.I.N.N. (Financial Intelligence Neural Network), our proprietary AI mentor guiding teenagers aged 13–18 through personalized, multi-year financial journeys. Unlike traditional simulations, F.I.N.N. connects students to real market data while they invest real capital, allowing them to manage portfolios, react to economic events, and learn through consequences—without real financial risk. The experience is highly gamified, featuring challenges, rankings, badges, and rewards to sustain motivation. F.I.N.N. provides adaptive coaching, reinforcing good decisions and constructively addressing poor ones, while adjusting complexity, tone, and content as users mature. Built in partnership with Commerzbank, the ecosystem supports a smooth transition at age 18, when students can open real accounts informed by their virtual financial track record.
