Hey Product Hunt! We're the team behind Archimedes, and we want to make investing a bigger part of your life. It's been exciting to see many of you start investing for the first time this year. Whether you've: - jumped on board meme stonks (GME or AMC anyone?) in the spring - owned your first NFT this summer - tried to buy the constitution - or set up your 401(k) at work There have been many opportunities to wade into the unknown. However, with anything new comes the question, "Is what I'm doing right for me?" We've also seen many of you sit on the sidelines because the idea of starting was too intimidating. Or, maybe you didn't know where to start. But when rising inflation is reducing the value of our money, and the market has rewarded investors with 27% growth this year, we can't afford to sit on the sidelines anymore. While there are tons of trading apps to start with, there aren't any that help you gain the confidence of knowing how to reach your investing goals. If you're left winging it, it's unlikely you'll reach your goals quickly. Likewise, if you aren't investing, you are guaranteed to not reach any goal. We want to change that. If you haven't started investing or are curious about investing in something new, we give you clear step-by-step lessons designed by experts to help make your first steps feel as easy as riding a bicycle. You can think of us as your personal approachable investment coach. Today, we're empowering you to be able to take steps on your own. Tomorrow, we'll connect you to a community of financial advisors and expert-generated content for you to be able to do more. Sign up today and get access to 170+ lessons for free. We're excited to be with you on your investing journey.

@simongu congrats with a launch! I like those type of products! Is it only lessons and demo practice or you will add investment feature?

@_1_ras Thank you! We are currently focused on providing the best education onramp to first-time investors or for people who want to invest in something new. There are tons of brokerage accounts out there and we don't have any immediate plans to become another one. Instead, you can think of Archimedes as becoming the strategy layer where you go to get trusted information and knowledge so that you can place your own trades confidently. Same reason why hedge funds pay their analysts so much money and don't really care which banks route their trades. With that said, we're partnering with the most brands to reward you for taking your first steps.

@alon_keren thank you so much!

@simongu App looks great. Will there be community discussions or social trading?
Simon Gu

@hellodusko Hey Tomas—that's a great question. The community discussions will likely come when turn on the marketplace for expert-generated content and services. We are currently building a set of tools that lets our users be able to have more action-driven discussions within their current communities.

It's so hard to find sensible investing advise online, the best places like MotleyFool and MorningStar are behind paywalls and not apps so something like this is great! Congratulations on the launch

@simon_barker1 Thanks so much. Those resources have great analysts on them, but they really aren't set up for different asset classes either.

Congratulations on the launch! @simongu! How does the Archimedes team plan to generate revenue?

@arwina_mogul1 Thanks so much! That's a great question. We're making learning completely free. We plan to open up our marketplace where experts in different areas of investing can create trustworthy content and offer their help. Soon you'll be able to assemble your own team of experts and pay them for your specific problem. e.g. it's tax time, what stocks and NFTs should I sell to limit how much taxes I owe. We also partner with trusted brands to refer the best tools and services you need. They will pay us if you choose to use the tools.

Love the explainer btw, and of course the product is really useful. Getting finance information is really hard specially with all the paid media that happens today.
