ForOurLastNames, Corp. has already achieved early traction and clear validation in the financial wellness and digital education space:
Validated market size: Annually, 80 million first-generation wealth builders in the U.S. are underserved by existing fintech solutions. ForOurLastNames is closing that gap through culturally attuned, holistic education and technology.

Our revenue model projects up to $5M in annual recurring revenue within two years, utilizing B2C subscriptions, B2B licensing, data insights, targeted advertising, and lead-generation for financial professionals.
