Our Journey Started with a Simple Question

Why do so many smart, capable people struggle with money decisions that could change their lives?

Back in 2019, I was working as a financial analyst in downtown Seattle when I realized something troubling. The tools and knowledge I used every day to help corporations make million-dollar decisions weren't reaching the people who needed them most.

That's when hardorne was born. We started in a small office just blocks from Pike Place Market, with one mission: bridge the gap between complex financial concepts and real-world applications that actually help people build wealth.

Our Mission

We believe financial literacy shouldn't be a privilege reserved for those who can afford expensive advisors. Everyone deserves access to the knowledge and tools that can transform their financial future.

Accessibility First
Complex concepts explained in plain English

Practical Focus
Real strategies you can implement today

Personal Growth
Building confidence alongside knowledge

Long-term Thinking
Decisions that compound over decades

Our Vision

We're creating a world where financial stress doesn't dictate life choices. Where understanding money becomes as fundamental as reading or writing. Where the next generation grows up with the tools to build generational wealth.

Education Revolution
Making financial education engaging and memorable

Community Impact
Strengthening entire communities through individual empowerment

Technology Integration
Using modern tools to solve age-old problems

Generational Change
Breaking cycles of financial uncertainty

Founder & CEO

Sarah brings over 12 years of experience in corporate finance and wealth management. She holds a CFA designation and has helped manage over 0M in assets. But what really drives her is remembering her own family's financial struggles and ensuring others have the resources she wished for growing up.

When she's not analyzing market trends, you'll find Sarah volunteering at local high schools teaching financial literacy or hiking the Pacific Northwest trails.

Our Culture & Approach

We operate on the principle that financial education should be judgment-free. Everyone's starting point is different, and that's perfectly okay. What matters is taking the next step forward.

Our team includes former teachers, financial advisors, small business owners, and people who've overcome significant financial challenges themselves. This diversity of experience helps us understand the real obstacles people face.
