Investors
Discover YOBY, the European family fintech and educational game helping children, families and schools build healthier financial habits through play.
We are looking for people who want to build YOBY with us.
YOBY was born from a simple question: why do children learn about money only after they start using it?
Every family talks about homework, friendship and growing up. Much more rarely do they talk naturally about saving, spending, waiting, making choices or planning for the future. Yet these are skills that influence an entire lifetime.
We believe financial education should become part of everyday family life. Not through lectures or complicated financial products, but through curiosity, play and shared experiences. That is why we are building YOBY: a world where children, parents and schools can learn together, one small discovery at a time.
This is not simply an app. It is a long-term project that we hope will accompany families across Europe for many years.
Capital is important. People are indispensable.
Every startup needs investment. We do too.
But if what you are looking for is simply another company where you contribute capital, receive quarterly updates and wait for an exit, YOBY is probably not the right place.
We are looking for something more valuable.
We are looking for people who enjoy building. People who bring experience, relationships, credibility and ideas. People who are willing to challenge us when we are wrong, introduce us to opportunities we would never find alone and celebrate every milestone as if it were their own.
Our ideal investor is not a spectator. They become part of the team.
What kind of people are we looking for?
Some may come from education. Others from banking, insurance, technology, artificial intelligence or entrepreneurship. Some may have built companies before. Others may simply believe that helping children develop a healthier relationship with money is one of the most meaningful challenges of the coming years.
What matters is not the title on your business card.
What matters is the willingness to contribute.
We believe that great companies are built by communities of committed people long before they become organisations.
Why YOBY?
Because financial education deserves better tools.
Families need experiences they can enjoy together. Schools need resources that engage rather than lecture. Financial institutions need meaningful ways to invest in the financial wellbeing of future generations.
YOBY brings these worlds together through technology, game design and responsible artificial intelligence, creating an experience that is playful enough for children, useful enough for parents and credible enough for educators and institutions.
We believe Europe deserves a project designed around its own values: privacy, inclusion, responsibility and trust.
Join the journey.
If this vision resonates with you, we would love to meet you.
Not because we are looking for someone to write a cheque, transfer funds or fill a funding round as quickly as possible.
Because we are looking for people who would like, one day, to look at YOBY and honestly say:
"I didn't just invest in this. I helped build it."
If that sentence makes you smile, we should probably have a conversation.
