From Vision to Movement
My name is Alexa Young
The idea for Momentus came from a personal realization. I grew up surrounded by opportunities, so many in fact that the challenge was often choosing which path to take. But alongside that privilege, I saw underprivileged youth who didn’t face the same problem. Instead of choosing between countless options, they were left with none. Especially when it came to financial education and opportunities, the gap was clear: while some of us had endless doors to open, others didn’t even have a key.
​
Momentus was born to close that gap. Our purpose is simple yet urgent: to make financial literacy and opportunity accessible to every young person, no matter where they come from. Through multilingual courses, immersive simulations, and international collaboration, we are creating a movement where youth rise together.
​
This is not about giving answers, but about giving tools, tools that empower students to make their own decisions, shape their own futures, and lead change in their communities. Momentus exists to remind us all that the power of opportunity grows when it is shared.
