Our Story

Founded in 2021 by Rajan Kaushek, president and founder of the Menlo School Investing Team, OneUp Investing emerged from a critical need to address a startling reality: 81% of Generation Z is financially illiterate. This statistic not only highlights a gap in our education system but also underscores the importance of equipping the next generation with the necessary tools to make informed financial decisions.

At OneUp Investing, we believe that financial education is the cornerstone of empowerment and independence. Our mission is to transform financial concepts into engaging, accessible learning experiences for young individuals. Since our inception, we've reached over 100 families, delivering impactful lessons on investing, budgeting, and economic responsibility.

Thanks to generous grant funding, we've been able to offer scholarships to ensure that no interested learner is left behind due to financial constraints. Our commitment to financial education has been unwavering, and we continue to strive towards a future where every member of Gen Z can navigate the financial landscape with confidence and competence.

Join us as we continue to break down barriers and build a financially savvy generation, one student at a time.
