The global edtech market is projected to reach $400B by 2028 (HolonIQ). Within it, three underserved segments are converging:
K-12 Financial Literacy ($8B+) — 35 states now mandate financial literacy education but fewer than 5% of schools have curriculum that meets the standard. CoinQuest fills this gap with 177 adaptive modules that comply with COPPA and FERPA from day one.
Retail Investing Education ($3.2B) — 58% of Gen Z and Millennials invest through apps but have no structured education. MarketSapien provides 88 progressive modules with real market data — not generic financial advice, but structured pedagogy mapped to behavioral finance research.
Adult Life Skills ($2.1B) — There is no Duolingo for adulting. Adulting Academy covers 57 modules across taxes, insurance, budgeting, cooking, credit, and more. The demographic is 18-45 adults who missed practical education.
| Product | Market | Modules | AI Guides | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CoinQuest | K-12 (Ages 5-18) | 177 | 6 grade-locked | Live — demo + district pilot ready |
| MarketSapien | Investing (Ages 16+) | 88 | 7 mentors | Live — beta with real market data |
| Adulting Academy | Life Skills (Ages 18-45) | 57 | 1 adaptive coach | Live — 10 domain demo |
All 3 products are live and functional today. Every demo link goes directly to a working product — no signup required, no email gate, no paywall. This is intentional: we follow a product-led growth model where the product sells itself.
Every edtech company claims "AI-powered." Here's what actually differentiates us:
322+ modules across 3 products is 18-24 months of content development that competitors would need to replicate. Each module is pedagogically structured — not GPT-generated content dumps. Teach-before-quiz patterns, adaptive difficulty, retrieval practice built into every lesson.
COPPA and FERPA compliance is baked into the architecture, not bolted on. Zero PII collection. Local-first data storage. No third-party tracking. This eliminates the #1 sales objection in K-12: "How do you handle student data?" Our answer: we don't collect it.
13 AI guides aren't chatbots — they're grade-locked pedagogical agents calibrated to specific developmental levels. Copper (K-2) uses different vocabulary, pacing, and reward structures than Morgan (11-12). This specialization creates a data flywheel: more usage = better calibration = better outcomes = more usage.
CoinQuest opens the B2B district channel. MarketSapien captures retail investors. Adulting Academy targets the "adulting" demographic. Same tech stack, same AI engine, three distinct acquisition channels. If one market contracts, the others provide stability.

Jamal Reaves — Solo technical founder. Built all 3 products, the AI infrastructure, the video capture pipeline, and the company website. California-based. Previous experience in technology and education. Currently operating lean with near-zero burn.
The advantage of a solo founder at this stage: zero coordination overhead, fast iteration, and total alignment between vision and execution. Every dollar of investment goes directly to growth — there's no bloated team to support.
We're not raising right now. We're building traction first. But we're open to conversations with:
Strategic investors with edtech portfolio companies or K-12 district relationships. Angel investors who understand that pre-revenue with live products is a fundamentally different risk profile than pre-revenue with a pitch deck. Advisors with school district sales experience or consumer edtech growth expertise.
When we do raise, the use of funds is clear: 50% distribution (district sales team, marketing), 30% product (mobile apps, additional modules), 20% operations (infrastructure, compliance certifications).
These are real, verifiable numbers — not projections. Every product is live at the URLs listed.
