S10 Bonus: The Education-First Fintech Shift: Using AI Decision Engines to Simplify Investing for Everyday Earners with Jason Schappert, Co-Founder & CEO of Moola
Feb 20, 2025 · Season 10 · 31 min
Helping you shape your finances for success
Jason Schappert grew up in an entrepreneurial family. His Mom and Dad were always working together, and never had jobs. Jason's first job was working for his parents pest control company, where he crafted his understanding of what success looked like. Outside of tech, he is married with 3 kids, and is very into all of their sports. Fun fact, his kids enjoy doing their homeschooling in the office with their Dad, listening to calls and asking big questions - so business is actually what they do for fun.
For 16 years, Jason grew and ran a business in aviation. After a successful exit, he and his wife Magda were considering what to do next. She quickly remembered all of the things Jason did behind the scenes to setup their personal finances for success, in the midst of a chaotic startup life.
This is the creation story of Moola.
