The AI-Powered Fintech Platform Simplifying Family Funding

Our Story: From Stanford MBA to Family Funding Pioneer

The Dopple Family Funding Platform

In 2002, I graduated from Stanford GSB, got married, founded my first start-up, and discovered I was pregnant.

Despite our pedigree, when our daughter was born we were on welfare and food stamps as Stanford MBAs.

I built for others what we did for my own family

Problem: Families Overwhelmed, Billions Left Unclaimed

Between diapers, daycare and doctor visits—every stage of childhood adds up to over $400,000 per kid, leaving parents stretched beyond their limits.

Baby Registry gifts cover just 1% of total expenses —Families are often on the hook for the other 99% of costs, from diapers to diplomas

Meanwhile, billions in aid goes untapped every year that is earmarked for these families

Parents forgo 10–40% in unused aid, draining household budgets on essentials
