Blackbullion is a digital financial wellbeing platform that streamlines and simplifies the discovery, application, receipt and effective use of student funding. It provides courses to learn financial skills to develop financial confidence and knowledge, and empower better decision making. It also helps locate funding for education through university funds, scholarships and bursaries.
The platform uses gamification through data modelling, personalised learning through machine learning and features that use augmented reality. The founder, Vivi Friedgut, spent the early part of her career managing the wealth of high-net-worth families and individuals. It was that work that made her question what could be achieved if financial education became more accessible.
Blackbullion is deployed on campuses across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand and almost 1 million students have access. The company is actively trying to widen participation cohorts, especially for first-in-family and marginalised students. Increasingly the platform is forming a major part of university retention strategies and has attracted funding from major future learning investors such as MPA Education and Emerge Education.
