L2M GradientX

Nowadays, many young Canadians [2] and newcomers [1] begin their financial journey with limited access to guidance on saving and investing, which leaves them at risk of debt and missed opportunities to build wealth. Existing tools are often complex and designed for experienced investors, not beginners. This project aims to develop and validate GradientX, an AI-powered financial tutor that helps individuals improve their financial literacy through personalized guidance, real-time market insights, spending analysis, and a risk-free virtual investing sandbox. Through participation in the Lab2Market program, the project will conduct user discovery and market validation to identify key pain points and refine the business model. The collaboration will benefit Lab2Market by contributing to its mission of translating academic research into viable market solutions and fostering Canadas next generation of entrepreneurial researchers.
