Built by a teen,
for teens.
Pulse started because I wanted to learn investing — but everything out there was either too boring, too complicated, or had no social element. So I built it myself.
Virtual portfolio to start
Achievements to unlock
Real money at risk — ever
Gen Z has nowhere to learn investing.
Robinhood and Fidelity aren't built for teens. No social layer, no gamification, no community — and you need real money just to start.
Paper trading apps exist but they're dead inside. Gen Z learns by doing, competing, sharing. There was no investing app built that way. Until now.
Paper trading that's
actually fun.
Pulse gives you $10,000 in virtual money to trade real stocks with live market data. Post picks, follow other traders, climb the leaderboard, earn XP for every move.
All the experience of real investing. None of the risk.

The mission
