Problem
Many retail investors lack a simple, low‑cost way to allocate tiny, recurring amounts into diversified assets, so they miss out on compounding returns and are deterred by high minimums, opaque fees, and manual portfolio management.
Solution
Tharaya delivers an automated micro‑investing platform that lets users start with as little as $5 and grow wealth through scheduled deposits or transaction round‑ups. A brief risk‑profiling questionnaire assigns each user to a pre‑constructed portfolio ranging from very conservative to very aggressive, based on historical return bands. The app securely links to the user’s bank via OAuth, pulls funds on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence, and invests them automatically without manual intervention. All fees are presented as a flat monthly subscription, eliminating hidden charges and enabling transparent cost forecasting. Real‑time dashboards provide performance charts, risk metrics, and AI‑driven insights to help users monitor progress and adjust allocations as confidence grows. Withdrawals and portfolio rebalancing can be executed on demand through the mobile interface, ensuring liquidity and flexibility.
Target Audience
The primary customers are individual savers and first‑time investors who prefer low‑minimum, automated investment solutions, as well as digitally native millennials and Gen Z users seeking transparent, mobile‑first wealth‑building tools.
