FirstStep: A calm first course in investing

Download on theApp Store

A calm, honest course for people who have never invested and are quietly embarrassed about it.

FirstStep is not a trading app and it will never show you a chart of something going up. It is sixteen short lessons that take you from "I know I should, but I do not understand any of it" to actually making a first contribution, plus a place to write down what you are afraid of.

What it does

• Mindset: where your beliefs about money came from, and why investing feels frightening
• Goals: what you actually want the money to do, and when you need it
• Foundations: index funds, risk, and the three things that genuinely matter
• Ready to Start: your concrete next steps, and what to do when it drops
• A coach screen for the questions people are too embarrassed to ask
• A journal, reminders, and a confidence score that moves as you learn

This app is live on the App Store and kept as it is. New work at DT Nova goes into WaterDrop, FastTrack and DayCount first.
