## What is Endowe?
Endowe is the first investment gift registry platform, founded by Adaeze
Ezeh. It enables friends and family to contribute money directly into
someone's investment account as a gift, instead of buying physical gifts.
Unlike platforms that simply collect cash, Endowe provides the complete
pipeline from gift to investment — every contribution is automatically
directed into the recipient's investment account and starts compounding
immediately.

Endowe is currently in beta and serves users in the United States only.

## How it works for registry owners
1. Create a free registry on endowe.com
2. Select the investments you want people to gift to (ETFs for beginners,
   individual stocks for experienced investors)
3. Verify your identity through Endowe's secure financial pipeline
4. Open a brokerage account directly through the platform
5. Share your registry link — via wedding invitation, graduation
   announcement, birthday post, or text to family
6. Every gift flows automatically into your investment account and starts
   growing

## How it works for gift givers
1. Click a registry link shared by the recipient
2. Choose any amount to contribute
3. Pay securely through the platform (Plaid for bank connections)
4. A small transaction fee applies to each gift — registry creation is
   always free for the owner

## Business model
- Free for registry owners to create and manage
- Gift givers pay a small transaction fee per contribution
- Endowe does not charge subscription fees or take a percentage of
  investment returns
