Equity

Fusing pedagogy, realism and gameplay to promote financial literacy founded on environmental and social responsibility. Co-founded by Thomas Beaudet and Cosmo J. Vollauschek in February 2022, Equity has the mission to make responsible financial literacy more inclusive and accessible. We're developing a pedagogical board game through which players discover the power of financial markets by competing to build the most profitable and responsible investment portfolios. The board game encourages our values of social and environmental responsibility as a framework for investing and managing money. The board game's idea was inspired by 'Bourse: Le Jeu de la Finance', a Serious Game produced in 1976 by 'Editions Fenwick' and developed by French Academic and Economist Bertrand Jacquillat. Discovering 'Bourse' let our co-founders consider the importance of gameplay in education, setting off the journey towards equity.
