| Parents have unique money concerns on their minds, so LearnVest is launching a daily newsletter just for the moms. |
The idea for LearnVest was born when CEO Alexa von Tobel, upon preparing for graduation from Harvard College, found herself frustrated with the lack of personal finance resources and tools available to her. In December of 2008, Alexa took a leave of absence from Harvard Business School to pursue her dream of creating an online platform to help women everywhere gain control of their finances.
LearnVest debuted as a TechCrunch50 Company in September 2009, and since then has helped over one million women gain control of their finances.LearnVest closed a $4.5 million Series A round of funding led by Accel Partners in April 2010.
In July 2011, LearnVest went on to close a $19 million Series B round of funding with participation from Accel Partners, two new financial investors, and original investors. LearnVest’s Board of Advisors includes Lee Barba (Former CEO, Investools/thinkorswim), Theresia Gouw Ranzetta (Partner, Accel Partners), Ann Kaplan (Former Partner, Goldman Sachs), Greg Waldorf (Former CEO, eHarmony), Greg Coleman (Former President, Huffington Post) and Catherine Levene (Former COO, DailyCandy).
Parents have unique money concerns on their minds, so learnvest is launching a daily newsletter just for the moms. This is promoted as a go-to for everything from creating your whole household budget to teaching your kids about money. LV Moms will kick off on Monday, October 17, so you can reserve your spot now.
