This month we’re excited to welcome Arsalan Riar to the 1 Million Cups Ashburn stage! As a YEA! Winner and TED-Ed Student Speaker, Arsalan is no stranger to taking on big challenges — and now he’s tackling one of the most pressing issues for young adults today: financial literacy.
His startup, Finora, is a FinTech company designed to help young adults and first-time investors build confidence and wealth through:
- Zero commission investing
- Engaging financial courses
- Circle Investing — a revolutionary way to invest together
Arsalan saw the growing gap between financial literacy and young adults, and turned that challenge into an opportunity. With Finora, he’s making money management simple, engaging, and accessible.
