How We're Building InvestCatapult to Help Millions with Their Money Worries
20 March 2025
Hi everyone!
We want to tell you about what we're doing at InvestCatapult. We're creating a new platform that helps UK adults feel better about their finances and plan for their future.
The Money Problems Many People Face
The facts show that lots of people in the UK struggle with money:
22 million people in Britain live from one payday to the next.
Nearly 6 in 10 people have savings that would last less than a month.
About 7 in 10 workers feel stressed about money.
24 million people don't feel confident making decisions about their money.
6 in 10 people won't have enough money when they retire.
The biggest issue? 92% of UK adults can't get good money advice because it costs too much, or seems too complicated.
When you worry about money, it can make you feel unhappy and stressed. We want to change that.
Our Solution: Making Money Management Easier with Technology
We're building InvestCatapult to help with these problems. We use smart computer technology (AI) and trusted money planning methods to help you:
Take control of your day-to-day spending.
Build savings to handle unexpected costs.
Have freedom to enjoy life and make choices.
Stay on track to reach your money goals.
Our friendly AI helper, Dilly, and our step-by-step Solution Pathways will make money management simpler for everyone.
What We're Doing Now
Right now, we're in the early stages. We're building our first version and getting ready to launch our MVP in April 2025, along with our wait list.
We believe in being open about what we're creating, because your feedback helps us build something better.
We're following a "build in public" approach, which means we'll be sharing our journey, challenges and progress as we develop InvestCatapult. This transparency allows us to gather valuable feedback early and create a product that truly meets your needs.
Currently, we're working on:
Finishing our platform's core features.
Building our library and resources that will help power Dilly, our AI helper, to create unique user experiences.
Creating Solution Pathways for common money problems.
Developing helpful resources about financial wellbeing.
Setting up our wait list.
Our MVP Launch in April
When we launch our MVP in April, we'll be:
Opening our waiting list.
Getting feedback on our Solution Pathways.
Testing Dilly with our first users.
Building a community of people who care about money matters.
Improving our services based on what users tell us.
We want to make sure what we build really helps with the money problems you face.
Join Us on This Journey
We believe everyone should be able to feel good about their money. Our goal is to help millions of UK adults become up to 40% better off in the long run, handle money emergencies better, and feel less stressed about finances.
