About We Seed

WeSeed's Mission

Here's our goal: To empower real people to get a better understanding of the stock market through the things they already know and love — the clothes they wear, the cars they drive (or the bikes they ride), and the burgers they eat.

We think everyone can master the market, not just the guys in the $4,000 suits on Wall Street. So we created a fun, free, risk-free way for real people to get a clue about the market and make better financial decisions.

Start with What You Know

Starting something new can be pretty intimidating, and most financial sites are very good at scaring people away. That's why we encourage WeSeeders to start with what they know.

Do you like video games, movies, or fine dining? Begin in that mini-market and use what you know to wade into the world of stocks. Or just look up the companies you like and — what the heck — buy some shares.

That's the thing: There's no risk here. WeSeed has real stocks, real prices, and real companies. It's the money that isn't real, which means you don't have to worry about losing any of your own hard-earned cash, By creating a safe, risk-free area that has all the other real parts of the stock market, WeSeeders can explore and feel free to make mistakes.

Who We Are

WeSeed isn't just some random start-up in a Silicon Valley garage. We are the the brainchild of PEAK6 Investments, L.P., one of the most successful options trading firms in Chicago. We've been able to tap into the considerable talent, experience, and technology at PEAK6 to help grow WeSeed and enable a new generation of future investors to learn the basics so that they can empower themselves.

WeSeed uses the technology of another PEAK6 company, OptionsHouse (which was rated #1 by Barron's for user experience, but that's a different story), which lets WeSeed provide up-to-the-second stock prices for companies.

So the money is fake, but the stock prices are real. And so is the education you'll get at WeSeed.
