Allow me to introduce myself. Hey, I'm Junead. I'm 24 years old and I live in Seattle, Washington. I was born and raised in the UK and grew up around West London. At 18 I moved to North Carolina on a merit scholarship to UNC Chapel Hill where I studied computer science and biostatistics. In college I interned at JP Morgan and Microsoft and then moved to Seattle to join Microsoft full time after graduation. After two years at Microsoft I quit a few weeks ago to go full time on my personal finance app. Growing up I had to compete with people with way better tools and resources so I had to learn how to maximize everything. At 18 that meant hacking credit card points just to visit home, budgeting to stretch my stipend to last a semester and teaching myself how to invest. Now at 24 those are the same skills that I've used to be able to save and invest enough to be able to quit my job and go all in on my startup. They've helped me fly business class for free, do all sorts of trips and adventures and still save enough to be able to bet on myself and not be held hostage to a corporate job. We don't get taught this stuff in school. I had to teach myself. Now I'm building the tools so that others like me can own their finances instead of having their finances own them. Follow along as I share my journey.
