Alexa Von Tobel is a 40-year-old entrepreneur from Jacksonville, Florida and is the founder of LearnVest (which she founded in 2009 when she was about 26 years old), a personal finance platform that provides financial planning services to individuals. Von Tobel seems to be recognized in her efforts to make financial planning accessible to a broader audience, particularly focusing on young professionals. LearnVest’s uniqueness lies in its goal of democratizing financial planning. By providing accessible financial services (particularly the younger demographic), LearnVest aimed to empower individuals to take control of their financial futures, filling a gap in the market for affordable and personalized financial guidance. Her entrepreneurial traits include empathy, vision, and a commitment to financial education. This yet another example of regular people looking into today’s market of anything online and creating a high grossing company to fix an issue or to create a convenience for users while online, whether that be for people in general or for businesses.

The success Alexa Von Tobel has had with LearnVest is evidence of the value of democratizing financial planning. She set out to democratize financial services, particularly for millennials, when she was just 26 years old. It is a mission to enable people to take charge of their financial futures, not just a platform. Von Tobel’s vision and empathy as an entrepreneur come through, making LearnVest a go-to source for individualized and reasonably priced financial advice. It’s the kind of tale of entrepreneurial success that demonstrates how common people can fill gaps in the market and produce something meaningful on the internet.
Alexa at a young age took something like financial planning, which is a burden and challenge for many people, and strived for a solution to that problem. By creating LearnVest, she is able to help fix a challenge for many people while building success for herself as well. I think young people should not be afraid to create “ripples in the water” when considering what could be done to help fix a problem in a given field.
