Girls That Invest

Identifying the significant gap in financial education for women worldwide, Simran Kaur, took the risk to launch an ed-tech startup during the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her platform, Girls That Invest, was sparked by the underrepresentation of women and minorities in investing, a sector long dominated by men. With the inception of her e-learning platform, Simran not only made investment education accessible for all but also catalysed a cultural shift towards inclusivity in finance.

Simran’s vision is to create a world where women have access to the tools to invest and secure their financial futures. Through a diverse array of channels, including podcasts, online masterclasses, best-selling books, and engaging social media content, Simran’s efforts have made financial literacy accessible and exciting. Her book, “Girls That Invest,” has become a staple on the shelves of aspiring investors.

Girls That Invest has seen exponential growth, expanding its reach to 192 countries within just three years. This global community reflects her success in increasing market share and establishing Girls That Invest as the world’s largest investing education platform for women. Her podcast alone attracts hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners. Financially, the company has been underscored by significant yearly revenue growth.

Girls That Invest actively supports UN Sustainable Development Goals, including Quality Education and Gender Equality. The platform has empowered a vast majority of women of colour, helping them gain the confidence to make informed investment decisions. Simran’s dedication to diversity and inclusion is evident in every aspect of her operation, ensuring that financial empowerment reaches every corner of the globe.
