About WeLeap
We're building the future of personal finance through AI-powered guidance that adapts to your unique financial journey.
Our Mission
Giving young adults an AI sidekick that turns money stress into lasting financial freedom.
Our Founding Story
We didn't start WeLeap because we saw a gap in the market. We started it because we saw a gap in support for our kids. As parents of Gen Z daughters, we've watched smart, motivated young adults struggle with money—not because they lack discipline, but because the system wasn't built for them. It's built around profits, not people. WeLeap exists to change that.

What We Believe
Action over dashboards
Financial wellness isn't about having more information—it's about taking the right action at the right time. We believe in progress over perfection, and clarity over complexity.
Clarity over clutter
We believe that financial tools should reduce stress, not create it. Every feature we build is designed to simplify your financial life, not complicate it with unnecessary complexity.
Aligned incentives
We believe that financial advice should be trustworthy and transparent. Our success is directly tied to your financial success—we only win when you do.
Our Community-First Model
WeLeap operates on a community-first model where member fees and revenue flow into a shared Community Fund. This fund supports members during financial challenges, enables product improvements, and creates a sustainable cycle where success is shared, not extracted.
Transparency & Alignment: When WeLeap earns referral revenue or transaction fees, we disclose it—and a portion flows into the WeLeap Community Fund. This ensures our recommendations are based on what's best for you, not what pays us most. Your success and our success are aligned.
