Stack offers a $3/month subscription Android app designed to teach teens (and their parents) how to invest in cryptocurrency while providing a trading environment tailored to minors. The product uses UTMA accounts so assets transfer into a teen’s name at 18, limits offerings to seven cryptocurrencies, and blocks off-platform transfers to reduce fraud. Users can earn rewards as they learn, and the app launched with more than 6,000 users on the waitlist. The company was founded in 2021 and the founding team includes CEO Will Rush, CTO Natalie Young, and CCO Angela Mascarenas. Stack has eight employees and expects to hire two more this year. Future plans include expanding financial licenses and offerings, building a high school–focused financial literacy program, and overhauling educational content to cover topics like NFTs, the metaverse, and web3. Stack is a Seattle startup focused on making cryptocurrency and modern finance accessible to Gen Z. Led by founder and CEO Will Rush, the company is launching a gamified platform that allows teens to invest in more than 30 cryptocurrency coins. Stack emphasizes financial literacy, aiming to provide foundational education on the benefits, risks, and mechanics of crypto investing. The startup won the top prize at Madrona Venture Labs’ Launchable Web3 event. As part of that win, Stack will receive $100,000 in pre-seed funding from Madrona Venture Labs.
