Vine
About Vine

Learn how investing works by doing it — real prices, zero risk.

Vine is a practice-investing app for ages 7–18+. Every trade uses real market prices; no real money is ever bought, sold, or transferred.

Why it exists

Most financial literacy is taught in vocabulary, not decisions.

You can read the definition of "compound interest" a hundred times. Watching $100 you actually placed become about $761 over 30 years at 7% a year teaches it in one afternoon. Vine gives kids the second experience.

How it works

01

Pick a real company

Apple, Roblox, Tesla, McDonald's — the ones kids already know.

02

Buy with practice cash

Real prices, pretend money. Every account starts with $1k–$10k depending on age.

03

Learn as you go

107 short lessons, three reading levels each. The first 15 are free forever.

04

Watch it grow

Track your portfolio, set a goal, build the habit — without risking a dollar.

What Vine is not

Not

Not a real brokerage.

No money moves; no real securities are held. It's a simulator with real prices.

Not

Not advice.

Nothing shown is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.

Not

Not selling attention.

No ads. No third-party trackers inside the kids' app (COPPA). Google Analytics runs only on public marketing pages, only after you accept the cookie banner.

Not

Not built on streaks or guilt.

Re-engagement is curiosity: "while you were away, your portfolio moved."

Who's behind it

Vine is built by a small independent team. If you have feedback, questions, or want to bring Vine into a classroom, email vineteam@vineteach.com. For security issues, see /.well-known/security.txt.
