Eve Halimi and Anam Lakhani

Anam Lakhani is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Alinea, an investing app created for Gen Z’s which allows users to grow their money by investing in what matters to them. Alinea has redesigned the investing experience by creating an inclusive community catering towards the diverse generation and demographics who have been overlooked. Alinea offers bundles of stocks based on a theme or strategy. Lakhani created Alinea after her investment banking internship where she quickly grasped how confusing and overwhelming investing her own money was. She went on to form a community around financial empowerment, using her own experiences coupled with those of her friends and classmates. Lakhani recognized the huge information barrier preventing Gen Z from confidently embarking on their investing journey, which inspired the creation of Alinea to solve these issues. Lakhani encouraged investors to express their individuality and create wealth congruent with their interests. Prior to creating Alinea, Lakhani was an Investment Banking Analyst at Castle Placement. She then went on to gain extensive financial experience working at Citigroup as an investment banker in the Equity Capital Markets division. In 2019, Lakhani graduated Cum Laude from Barnard College, Columbia University with a Bachelor’s in Economics. Alinea is backed by Y Combinator, a startup fund providing resources that support founders throughout the life of their company, teaching the basics of starting a company.
