#47: Your Juno app: Closing The Financial Literacy Gap with Margot de Broglie (co-founder)

START UP. START NOW.

Your Juno was founded by two sisters: Margot and Alexia. Margot de Broglie is the co-founder of Your Juno, building a financial education platform - think “the Duolingo of money”. Users can learn about any financial topics via its app, including negotiating a raise, buying a property, and becoming an investor.

"Money was never a taboo at home. We were raised by a single mom who was very financially savvy and encouraged talking about finance at the dinner table."

Unsurprisingly, both Alexia and Margot went on to study and work in economics and finance. “During the pandemic - as markets came crashing down - we noticed a huge difference in the types of conversations we were having with our guy - and girlfriends. Men were talking about their crypto investments and bragging about their returns, whereas women were never speaking about investing."

This is when they discovered the gender gap in financial literacy. In almost every country, women are both less knowledgeable and confident when it comes to finance.

Founded over 2 years ago, the company has raised over $2.5m. Margot has been awarded Forbes 30 under 30 for her work, and has been featured in the BBC, Stylist, Glamour, the Financial Times and more.
