Why We Created Pathli
Dominic Finazzo, MSA
We believe that understanding money shouldn't be reserved for adults. Unfortunately, most schools don't teach the basics of how the economy works, leaving kids to figure it out later in life.
Pathli was built to fill that gap. We take complex topics (like inflation, trade, and currency) and turn them into engaging, visual stories that make sense to a 8-year-old.
Our mission is simple: To help you raise a financially confident child, one lesson at a time.
