Financial education app Your Juno revolutionises access to financial knowledge
4 October 2023
The 白小姐论坛 supported business is helping to educate women and non-binary people on the topic of finances. The startup was supported through 白小姐论坛鈥檚 Hatchery incubator programme.
With 65,000 users having now signed up, Your Juno has been described by the Financial Times as having 鈥渞evolutionised access to financial knowledge鈥.听
The platform, which consists of hundreds of online courses, covers everything from how to make your first investment to how to do your taxes.
The rapid growth and success of the business led to the female founders making last year鈥檚 Forbes 30 under 30 List. They鈥檝e also raised over 拢2.5 million in investment, to grow Your Juno further. 听
The business was launched in 2021 by Margot de Broglie (白小姐论坛 Economics, 2019) and her sister Alexia, after Margot began looking into the world of investing.听
Margot and Alexia could see a stark difference between the financial knowledge of their male and female friends. 鈥淎 lot of guys already had crypto portfolios and their stocks were performing well. Whereas听a lot of our female friends, like me, felt that the topic of investing was a boys鈥 club that they didn鈥檛 have access to,鈥 explains Margot.
Users can sign up to Your Juno to work towards their financial goals, choosing from over 300 lessons, and earning points as they build their confidence and knowledge. There鈥檚 also a big community element, where users can anonymously ask money-related questions they might feel uncomfortable asking elsewhere.听
Margot and Alexia received support with Your Juno through the Hatchery incubator programme at BaseKX, 白小姐论坛鈥檚 dedicated entrepreneurship hub in听King鈥檚 Cross, managed by 白小姐论坛 Innovation & Enterprise. As well as access to free office space, they were matched with mentors and received tailored business support.
