From the founder

Hi, I'm Josh.

Long before I earned a degree in Computer Science or an M.B.A., my dad taught me the lesson that shaped my life more than any classroom ever could: the power of compound interest.

Years later, when I opened investment accounts for my own kids, my daughter Everly asked me a question that stopped me:

“If we invest my money… is it just gone?”

She couldn't see it anymore. She couldn't hold it. To her, investing felt like losing it. That's when I realized something: kids can't care about money they never see.

So I built MemoryBank.

The first version came together in my basement—a 3D-printed frame, a homemade server, and a small touchscreen—just so Harrison, Everly, and Emma could see their real savings and investments grow. Today it's a mission to help families raise financially confident kids by making money visible, understandable, and exciting.

My hope is simple: that MemoryBank helps your family have more conversations about saving, investing, and building wealth together. If it does, then it's doing exactly what I set out to build.

Thank you for letting us be a small part of your family's story.

Josh Ackerman, founder of MemoryBank
