I’ve always been deeply interested in finance, but without a formal educational background, I often struggled to understand the jargon and complexities of the financial world.
When I started investing, I realized that staying updated with the latest company news and trends was essential to making mindful investment decisions — but also incredibly time-consuming.
And consistency is key to building anything, especially good financial habits.
So, I built Own - an app that brings together everything you need to own your money and your financial journey, all in one place.
With Own, you can:
- 📈 Keep a watchlist of your favorite stocks
- 🗞️ Get the latest news about those companies, right there in the app
- 📚 Learn from a built-in financial glossary to decode complex terms
- 💡 Build and track your own financial habits to stay consistent
All of this - in one clean, intuitive, and personalized interface.
Own your habits. Own your learning. Own your money.
