Range - Founders Story

A letter from our co-founders.

After getting married a few years ago, I found myself spending a lot of time dealing with a new challenge: financial planning with my wife. I spent the next two years doing what millions of people do; we updated a massive spreadsheet sporadically and emailed each other updates…

Our numbers quickly became stale, planning was hard, and we spent half the time getting on the same page.

Plus we weren’t even sure if our calculations were correct! Fed up, I started searching for a way to better "adult" with my finances.

After months of trying dozens of tools, I enlisted David, a brilliant engineer and friend to help me solve this problem.

Although highly engaged in his job at Amazon, he decided to leave his thrilling corporate work environment to help build a system, not just for me—but everyone who needed help managing their finances.

Since starting Range in 2021 through user interviews, research, and lots of testing we learned what was missing beyond a basic financial monitoring tool: Financial Planning.

Our users weren’t just looking to plug in some numbers and leave, but they wanted a platform to help them, their family members, and others, holistically guide them on a multi-decade journey. The problem we quickly uncovered, was the cost.

99% of Americans don’t have a financial planner—they are too expensive or have crazy investment minimums. Financial planning shouldn’t be reserved for the rich, it should be accessible to everyone.

Join us as we make this dream a reality for millions of people looking for more than a budget!

Xoxo,

Fahad & David
