PieDAO was born with a mission to make wealth creation something every single human being could benefit from, not just the lucky few.
For as long as the modern-day financial system has existed, the ability to achieve financial freedom has been available exclusively to those who had (some) wealth to begin with: more often than not, one needed to be born to a successful family, have access to strong financial education, and initial capital to play with.
For the rest of us, getting from 0 to 1 in wealth creation is a gigantic chasm extremely hard to overcome, meaning that we have to spend most of our lives focusing on earning income, never quite getting to the stage of actually accumulating wealth.
Many of the PieDAO summoners and early members have experienced this first hand, including me.
I come from a lower-middle-class family, no one in my family went to college before my sister and the only talk about money I recall as a kid was related to the fact that we didn’t have enough of those.
