About Us
OUR MISSION
We aim to close the youth financial literacy gap by providing teens resources on personal finance and empowering them to achieve their goals!
Our Story
The Teen Trillionaire was started as a project in May of 2020 by Chicago teen Aryav Bothra — an incoming first-year at Yale University — and launched officially that July. Since then, it has grown to become a fiscally-sponsored nonprofit organization that encompasses passionate students from around the world and unites them under the common goal of youth financial literacy.
​
We provide teens interested in their finances with one simple thing: someone that is willing to listen to their needs and guide them accordingly. Despite the vast amount of resources available on the internet, teen financial literacy has always been a niche that we feel has never truly met or reflected the needs of teens. Without proper financial education, how can we expect teenagers to take control of their credit score, insurance, or future student loans?
​
Towards our goal of inspiring a generation of more financially independent and educated teens, we offer free financial coaching services that allow teens to get the answers they need on a wide variety of topics from auto insurance to saving for the future. We also publish books, create podcasts, and host speakers (virtually for now) to help instill in this upcoming generation one important virtue: the value of money.
