$YOU · BULLPEN LISTED · DAY 1

The warm-up before real money.

Bullpen turns investing education into a game. Bite-size lessons pay you coins, coins power a simulated portfolio with real market data, and daily games train your read on the market. Zero real dollars at risk.

The Bullpen home screen: a simulated portfolio worth $1,202.77 up 20.3% all time, a 12-day streak, level 5, and today's lesson, P/E Revisited, ready to start for 100 coins
How Bullpen works

Learn it. Earn it. Invest it.

One loop, three steps. Lessons pay you coins, and coins are the only money you invest with. By the time you place your first trade, you already know what you're doing.

STEP 1 · LEARN

Three minutes a day

Climb a chart of bite-size lessons on money, stocks, funds, credit, and taxes. Every lesson is interactive: you answer as you go, and you can tap "Why?" whenever you want the reasoning.

STEP 2 · EARN

Lessons pay coins

Finish a lesson, bank 100 coins. Keep a streak, level up, collect badges. The coins aren't decoration: they're your entire investing budget, and lessons are the only way to earn them.

STEP 3 · INVEST

Trade without the risk

Spend coins on a simulated portfolio with real market prices. Buy fractional shares, watch positions move, transfer between checking, savings, and a HYSA. It feels real because the data is.

Inside the app

This is Bullpen.

Real screens, real market data, simulated money. Captured from the app this week.

The Learn tab: Unit 6, Analyzing a Stock, shown as a rising chart with 3 of 10 lessons done and the next lesson ready to start
Learn Every unit is a climb. Finish a lesson and the line moves up. The summit is the unit quiz.
A lesson question about the P/E ratio answered correctly, highlighted in green with a Sharp banner, a Why? button, and a Continue button
Answer No lectures. You answer your way through every lesson, and "Why?" explains anything you missed.
The Invest tab: a simulated portfolio worth $1,202.77, up 18.87% over one month, with a value chart, checking, savings and HYSA accounts, and a Trade button
Invest A full paper portfolio: charts, fractional shares, bank-style accounts, a watchlist called The Bullpen.
The Markets tab: index cards for the S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow and VIX, above an AI-written daily brief explaining the week in plain English
Markets A daily brief that explains what actually happened, plus news tagged with what you hold.
Not a lecture

Every lesson makes you do something.

Eight graded question formats plus dozens of one-off interactive moments built for specific ideas, like reading a real stock chart or comparing two companies' P/E.

Multiple choice True / false Fill in the blank Tap all that apply Put in order Match pairs Type the term Written response

Adapts to you

Struggle on a lesson and Bullpen quietly adds a short review before you move on. Nail it and you keep climbing. No grades, no shame, just practice where you need it.

Ask "why?" anytime

Get something wrong and want to understand it? Tap "Why?" for a plain-English explanation written for your level, not a textbook paragraph.

Key terms that stick

Every term you meet joins your Key Terms deck. Spaced-repetition flashcards bring each one back right before you'd forget it, so the vocabulary actually sticks.

Daily games

Train your read on the market.

Two quick games built on real market data. They pay XP only, never coins: calls and streaks are about calibration, not gambling.

DAILY · SAME SLATE FOR EVERYONE

Daily

Two stocks, one question: up or down by the close? Make your calls, then watch the reveal graded against the real closing prices. Build a call streak day by day.

The Daily game: will NVIDIA and Costco close up or down today, with Up and Down buttons and a reveal at market close
STACK UP · SURVIVAL

Stack Up

Two real companies, one question. Which has the bigger market cap? Higher dividend? One wrong answer ends the run. Eight categories, three runs a day.

The Play hub showing today's lineup: the Daily game and Stack Up, with played today and streak counters

Questions

Quick answers

Is any real money involved?

No. Bullpen is 100% simulated. You invest coins earned from lessons into a paper portfolio. There is no brokerage account, no deposits, and no way to spend or lose a real dollar inside the app.

What ages is Bullpen for?

Bullpen is designed for teens and young adults, ages 13 and up. The curriculum starts from zero, so no prior knowledge is needed. Plenty of adults learn from it too.

How much does it cost?

Bullpen is free during early access. Pricing details will be announced at launch, and joining the waitlist is the best way to hear first.

Is Bullpen financial advice?

No. Bullpen is an educational app. It teaches concepts and lets you practice in a simulator. It never recommends real investments or tells you what to buy, and there's no crypto, options, or "hot stock" content.
