Those who reach the next generation win.
The rest may be forgotten.

CUNA: 64% of all non-members are not familiar with credit unions, 71% for millennials. Even higher for GenZ. [1]
Junior Achievement: 69% of teens say they have a business idea, but are unsure of how to start the process.[2]

Youth are listening: Money. Status. Success.

Most kids are exposed to content about money, status, and success by age 10 — often from toxic influencers.

Dream delivers a story-driven book that teaches curiosity, empathy, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. Disguised as a playbook for making money and gaining status.

"Here’s a book to teach your kids curiosity and empathy (under the guise of making money and status- perfect!)"
— $4B Credit Union Marketing Director

"This is perfect! You're a great antidote to all the Andrew Tate stuff. So proud you’ve built this."
— World Class Clinical Psychologist & Author

IMAGINE

Your CU as a launchpad
for empowering teenagers.

What teens and parents are saying

"That comic where the parents say 'should we tell him about taxes?' was hilarious 😆"
— H.S. Student (age 14)
"My son finished the sample chapter and asked when he could read the rest!"
— Parent (child aged 13)
"A lot of parents would appreciate this for their teens and a lot of teens will appreciate this too."
— University Student (age 19)

A co-branded graphic book series that is:

Engaging

59% of Gen Z would choose the graphic version of a story rather than a text-only book — that number jumps to ~70% in historically underserved communities.[3]

Lasts

Books are timeless assets — they live in schools, homes, libraries, and minds. They shape identity. They’re passed down. They last.

Built by a team with experience.

Dream was founded by Simon Komlos, co-founder of Zogo (acquired), which partnered with 200+ credit unions and helped over 2 million people learn financial skills. He was named Forbes 30 Under 30 in Education.

At 12, Simon was struggling in school until a pen-pal introduced him to coding. That spark turned him into a self-taught programmer and changed his life. Now, he’s building Dream to pass that spark of curiosity and opportunity on to the next generation.
