Our story

Where economics, education, and creativity meet.

FinGoose grew from Grace Zhou’s interests in economic justice, creative education, and the way financial systems shape a student’s opportunities.

She paired research and teaching with animation, video, and graphic design. The result is a learning system that turns difficult money ideas into visual, practical experiences.

“What started as a passion for global issues transformed into a hands-on mission to empower the next generation with the financial confidence they deserve.”
Our values

The rules behind every resource.

Playful on the surface, purposeful underneath. These four principles keep the work grounded.

01

Equity

We start with fairness and access, addressing the root of the problem: wealth inequality.

02

Rigor

We build our courses, curricula, guidebooks, and workbooks on standards-aligned financial education.

03

Creativity

We teach through visuals, storytelling, animation, problem-solving, and engaging experiences.

04

Opportunity

We open pathways to business, finance, financial literacy, leadership, and programs like DECA.
