Our Story
Shortstacks began with a simple but powerful idea: what if kids could learn to manage money before making costly mistakes? After struggling with finances despite a high-paying job, our founder created a hands-on lesson plan for her younger sister, complete with savings goals, budgeting tools, and even monthly "paychecks." The results were life-changing. What started as a family experiment turned into a mission to help classrooms across the country teach real-life money skills through a fun, interactive app. And just like that, Shortstacks was born—because financial literacy shouldn't start at 25, it should start at 10.
