ALINEA INVEST : FOUNDING STORY

By 
Eve Halimi

Hey there, it’s Anam Lakhani and Eve Halimi, and we’re the co-founders of Alinea Invest. 


Like many of you, we've had a hard time navigating financial markets. This is simply because we’re not taught how to manage our money. To solve this problem, we have built Alinea, your investing guide but first and foremost an inclusive community for new investors.

 

Community has always been the core value of Alinea Invest since day 1. It’s what powers, supports, and motivates us.


When we founded Alinea in a college classroom at Barnard College, Columbia University, we noticed a staunch discrepancy amongst our classmates. Some peers leaned into investing, while others shied away since they didn’t know enough and felt investing wasn’t for them.

 

This is why we created Alinea.

 

Alinea was built to create a community around investing and money with a focus on addressing the next generations needs. 

We started with a small learning series on Columbia’s campus where we brought world leaders to come speak on topics about personal finance and growing wealth through investing. After conducting thousands of interviews and discussions, we realized the solution to this problem had to be community driven, authentic and creative. 

 

While there is still a lot of work to do, we've come a long way in a short amount of time.

Evolution of the Alinea Invest mobile app


On Alinea, you can learn how to become an investor while investing your money at the same time. It is built for people who never felt like the traditional investor.


When you invest with Alinea, you invest with intention. This is just the beginning.

We hope you will join us on this journey!
