18 units. 131 lessons. One clear path.
Bullpen's curriculum is sequenced like a course, not a content library. Units unlock in order, each ends with a mastery quiz, and every concept gets practiced: in questions, in interactive exercises, and eventually in your own paper portfolio.
Foundations
Before a single trade: what money is, where it goes, and the one force (compounding) that makes starting young matter so much.
What money really is, why prices drift up, and how to decide what a dollar is for.
Where cash lives between paychecks, and how interest pays you to leave it there.
Why growth on top of growth beats saving harder, and what time does to a balance.
What investing actually is, the risk you take on, and the return you get paid for it.
Stocks & markets
The core investing arc, and the point where lessons and the practice portfolio start feeding each other. Trading unlocks here.
A share is a slice of a real company. How that slice gets priced, and why it moves.
Reading a company like an owner: revenue, profit, valuation, and the story behind them.
Growth, value, dividends, and size. The families stocks fall into and what each is for.
How an order becomes a trade, and the difference market, limit, and stop make.
Owning hundreds of companies at once, and why spreading out cuts risk you aren't paid for.
Lending instead of owning: coupons, maturity, and why bond prices move against rates.
Turning single picks into one allocation, then keeping it in shape as it drifts.
Money in real life
Investing doesn't happen in a vacuum. These units cover the income, spending, and psychology that decide whether there's anything to invest at all.
Where income comes from, what gets taken out, and how to read a real paycheck.
Giving every dollar a job, building a buffer, and spotting what quietly drains one.
The biases that cost investors money, and the habits that make them behave anyway.
How borrowing is priced, what a credit score really measures, and the traps in between.
The long game
The finish line of the course: keeping what you earn, and letting decades do the heavy lifting.
Brackets, withholding, and how gains get taxed differently depending on how long you held.
Accounts built for decades: 401(k)s, IRAs, matches, and letting compounding finish the job.
The capstone: alternatives, global investing, and where to keep learning from here.
Four lesson types, one rhythm.
Learn
New concepts introduced interactively: you answer questions while you learn, not after. Many lessons include bespoke exercises built just for that topic, like reading a real stock chart or watching compound growth run.
Practice
Drills on what you just learned, across eight question formats: from multiple choice to typing key terms from memory to short written responses graded automatically.
Reinforce
Mixed review that reaches back into earlier lessons, so old material stays fresh. Miss too much and Bullpen inserts a targeted review before you move on.
Quiz
Every unit ends with a mastery quiz. Pass it and the next unit unlocks, plus the biggest coin payout in the app for your portfolio.
The whole course fits in your pocket.
