Kennedy, who completed her Bachelor of Commerce at Te Whare W膩nanga o Waitaha | 蜜桃儿直播 in 2022, identified a lack of accessible information about the share market in New 蜜桃儿直播 as part of a second-year innovation class.鈥�

鈥淚nvesting needs to be spoken about more openly in New 蜜桃儿直播. It's a huge opportunity that people are missing out on because they鈥檙e too scared to try something they don鈥檛 understand,鈥� Kennedy says.鈥�

With a team of four, Kennedy set out to solve the problem of increasing share investment knowledge.鈥�

鈥淭he first thing we did was attempt to build an app with the basic building blocks for how to invest in shares, right from step one, and we presented our ideas to the class throughout the semester,鈥� Kennedy says.鈥��

Buoyed on by the progress of the work throughout the semester, Kennedy suggested the team should apply for the eight-week business accelerator programme听听鈥攁 student-led entrepreneurial organisation for 艑tautahi students based at UC.鈥��

Winning the Business Choice Award, the team also earned a scholarship to join the听UC Centre of Entrepreneurship听(鲍颁贰)听Summer Start-Up Programme鈥� a 10-week programme helping students take their ideas and launch them.鈥�

鈥淲hen I joined the UCE Summer Start-Up Programme Sharenanigans was still an app and I still thought that was the way to go鈥攅veryone was building software businesses and investors were looking for the next big tech startup,鈥� she says.鈥�

With dedicated mentors asking her to question her approach, and new speakers every day throughout the summer, Kennedy started to look at the product differently.鈥���

Building knowledge from the programme and mentorship, Kennedy refined what the problem actually was and that鈥檚 when the app became a board game.鈥�

Pete Howard, Student Innovation Lead at UCE, praised Kennedy鈥檚 entrepreneurial spirit and dedication.鈥�

鈥淎lli Kennedy is an exceptional and driven young founder. During her time with UCE, she refined and developed her idea for Sharenanigans from an app-based solution to an interactive board game,鈥� Howard says.鈥�

Kennedy says she is not giving out financial advice but empowering people to make a choice about how to invest.鈥�

鈥淚 don鈥檛 have a background in investing, wasn鈥檛 taught about it in school, and couldn鈥檛 learn it from my parents. It was always something that felt out of reach and only reserved for wealthy people and although there are ways to learn how to invest, what's missing are conversations around the topic in households and classrooms at a younger age,鈥� Kennedy says.鈥�

Aimed to introduce children from the age of nine to the concept of investing in shares, Sharenanigans was developed to be a fun and competitive game to help build financial literacy, providing the first step in sparking interest in investing.

鈥淚t helps break down barriers and bridge the intergenerational knowledge gap, empowering everyone to understand investment opportunities and make smarter financial choices,鈥� she says.鈥�
