The problem

Your finance students learn the theory.
They need to practice.

Lectures don't move markets

Students leave a 12-week finance module with formulas, not instincts. The gap between “I understand a P/E ratio” and “I can read a balance sheet under time pressure” is practice, not theory.

Real brokerage is out of reach

You can't put 200 students on a live brokerage. KYC, custody, regulatory exposure, and the chance of a 19-year-old liquidating their savings in a class exercise all argue against it.

Existing simulators don't fit your cohort

The available paper-trading tools were built for retail US users. Curriculum aligned to Mauritian, African, or commonwealth finance context doesn't exist. Until now.

What's included

Three connected pillars,
one license.

📈

Paper trading sandbox

Real-time US stock prices, fractional shares, multi-account portfolios. Students start with $10k in virtual funds. No KYC, no real money, no regulatory exposure for you.

🎓

Academy curriculum

40+ lessons across Beginner, Intermediate, and Pro tracks. Mauritian and African market context. Progress tracking, quizzes, instructor-assignable. Drops into your LMS or runs standalone.

🏆

Cohort competitions

Run a portfolio competition across your module. Leaderboards, weekly check-ins, instructor-set start dates and rules. Top three students each cohort earn a real $50 funded trade from the platform.

📊

Instructor dashboard

Per-student P&L. Lesson completion. Competition standings. CSV grade export. Assign trades, lessons, or competitions as part of coursework. No surprises at semester end.

🔐

Domain-locked access

Whitelist your institutional email domain (.edu, .ac.mu, .ac.uk) — every account that signs up with one is auto-verified as a student of yours. Expires when the domain access lapses.

🌍

Local context, global markets

Curriculum references MUR, RSE, FSC, JSE alongside NYSE and NASDAQ. Built by Mauritians who taught at the University of Mauritius. Not another US-coastal product squeezed into your market.

Instructor view

The dashboard that lets you grade without guessing.

Each student's portfolio, lesson progress, and competition standing in one place. Filter by cohort. Export grades as CSV at term end. Set assignments, deadlines, and weightings without leaving the page.

  • Live P&L for every student in the cohort
  • Lesson completion percentage
  • Competition leaderboard with rank deltas
  • Trade journals — read the reasoning, not just the numbers
  • Per-student notes and assignment tracking
  • CSV grade export aligned to your rubric

The hook your students will tell each other about

Top three students per cohort earn a real $50 funded trade.

At the end of each competition, the platform funds a real brokerage trade in the top three students' names — $50 in actual US equities, theirs to keep. It's the moment paper trading becomes real for them. It's also the moment your finance program looks tangibly different from every other one in the region.

Funded trades are platform-paid, regulated through our partner broker arrangement, and audited annually. Available to verified students 18+ in jurisdictions where we operate.

1

Discovery call (30 min)

Walk through your finance module, target cohort, term schedule, and grading rubric. We confirm fit before either side commits.

Pilot agreement (1 day)

One-page MOU. 100-student minimum. First term is paid quarterly; no annual lock-in until you've seen results.

3

Domain whitelist (1 day)

We add your institutional email domain to the verification allowlist. Your students sign up with their real .edu / .ac.mu address — no separate credential management.

4

Instructor onboarding (2 hr session)

We walk your faculty through the dashboard, lesson assignment, and competition setup. You leave the call ready to run your first cohort.

5

Student launch

Send a single email with the signup link to your cohort. By end of week one, most students have completed their first lesson and made their first paper trade.
