We’re Zach Antonopoulos and Eshan Mehta, two high school students and the co-CEOs and co-founders of Future Funds. The idea began with Zach, who saw too many people in our community who were financially dependent on others, without the savings or knowledge to stand on their own. We started this because we saw how stressful worrying about money can be, especially for people who never had the chance or knowledge to start investing early. We wanted to help more families give their children that early start.
We created Future Funds to educate families about saving, investing, and the opportunities available to their children. When a new federal child savings program was introduced, we saw a way to put that mission into practice: clear explanations that help parents understand their options and take informed steps toward their children’s long-term financial success.
Our response is practical: free, plain-language guides for families, employers, and donors; direct links to official resources; and illustrations that make the assumptions visible. We explain both the potential benefits and the limitations, including investment risk, contribution rules, and tax considerations.
Our ambition is to help more families begin with knowledge, not confusion. We do not open accounts, handle money, sell investments, or claim government endorsement. Our contribution is education: helping people ask better questions and find the official information they need.
A clear purpose, supported by clear editorial standards.
We explain the terminology and the practical steps in language families can use. Our educational resources are free to read.
We prioritize official guidance, identify assumptions, and welcome corrections. A simplified explanation should never hide an important limitation.
We explain the program without political endorsements or promises of investment returns. Every family deserves the information to make its own decisions.
Questions, corrections, and thoughtful collaboration help strengthen this educational resource.
