Hey! I’m Siddharth Tripathi, a sophomore at Hebron High School in Carrollton, Texas.

My passion for teaching finance derives from a startling fact: only 57% of adults in the United States are financially literate. After further research, I realized that this problem stems from a lack of basic financial education from a young age. I wanted to help make an impact and aimed to teach children in my city about personal finance in hopes that I could bring this statistic down. As a result, I formed The Dollar Investigators, an organization that strives to equip students with critical financial resources and skills to help them navigate the tricky intricacies of personal finance into adulthood.
