'Stackin' is a Millennial-focused company that aims to help the demographic garner a better understanding of how to properly deal with their personal finances -- something that creator Scott Grimes was shocked by their lack of knowledge of.
As learning about finance isn't all that exciting for most Millennials, Stackin helps them to retain useful knowledge by serving information in a more entertaining and digestible format. To do so, Stackin allows users to subscribe to its service with an email and phone number, so that they can receive daily video texts that break things down for them. These short videos quickly educate users with important information surrounding investing, credit, student debt, and home buying -- targeting aspects that the young generation is likely dealing with.
