Finances shouldn't be whystudents quit their dreams.
We're building the "Duolingo of student finance" - an AI-powered platform helping students stay in university, manage money better, and build long-term financial resilience. No complicated jargon. No boring lectures. Just financial guidance that actually helps.
Duolingo of Student Finance
We've built an AI-powered, interactive platform completely designed around student lifestyle and financial behavior. Our platform helps students manage their money with personalized tools, real-time tracking, and a judgment-free community where they can talk openly about financial challenges.
Preventing Financial Dropout
Every year, 100 million students drop out of university due to financial stress. In the UK alone, over 200,000 students are unable to complete their degrees because of financial pressures. Scholar Saver exists to make sure no student is left behind because of financial stress.
Smart Financial Tools for Students
Our features include adaptive budgeting, AI-driven goal setting, behavioral nudges, a gamified buddy system, and an in-app price comparison engine to maximize savings. Through curated financial education, live workshops, and automated money management, we help students build a strong financial foundation.
Helping Universities Boost Retention
For universities, Scholar Saver provides anonymous, actionable insights into student financial health, allowing them to proactively identify and support at-risk students, strengthen retention, and enhance student wellbeing. We're tackling the $40 billion annual crisis for universities caused by financial dropouts.

Vipashyana
Founder & CEO
No student should drop out because of financial stress.
I personally funded my entire Bachelor's and Master's degrees, while also supporting my younger sister's education. This experience shaped me into a relentless builder with 5+ years across software, marketing, and UX, including experience at 2 YC backed companies. I'm passionate about ensuring no student is left behind because of financial stress.
Ashish
Founder & CTO
Tech should solve real problems, not create new ones.
As a tech entrepreneur with 9+ years in AI, SaaS, and full-stack development, I've built and exited ventures, taking them from zero to profitability. Having self-funded my university journey, I understand firsthand the financial hurdles students face without a safety net. I'm passionate about using technology to make financial education accessible to every student.
