Teaching the Next Generation to Build Wealth - with Tanya Van Court


Listen Later

📱What if the key to closing the wealth gap starts with teaching kids how to save, spend, and invest—before they even hit high school?

In this episode of Fintech Mavericks, Nicole Casperson and Drew Glover sit down with Tanya Van Court, Founder and CEO of Goalsetter, the award-winning fintech platform empowering families to build generational wealth through financial literacy.

Tanya’s path to fintech wasn’t typical—she went from leading digital strategy at Nickelodeon to building a banking and education app that puts kids and parents at the center. With innovative features like “Learn Before You Burn” debit cards and gamified quizzes, Goalsetter is helping families form healthy financial habits that stick.

Tanya shares how her personal story inspired the company’s mission, why financial education should be a cornerstone of equity work, and how she’s scaling a purpose-first business in a competitive space. From product vision to fundraising, this conversation dives deep into what it takes to build fintech for the next generation.

If you're a parent, founder, educator, or someone who believes in the power of purpose, this episode will challenge, inspire, and energize you.
