Traditional financial news and education have always been run by Wall Street suits.
At Briefs Finance, we ditched the suits but kept the Briefs.
We're a Detroit-based financial technology company powered by media on a simple mission: help regular people get better with their money. Not the folks who already have a guy on Wall Street. You.
Here's the uncomfortable truth most finance companies won't say: investing is hard, and most people lose money trying.
It's not because they aren't smart. It's because the whole system was built to feel confusing, intimidating, and expensive.
Wall Street firms charge $5,000 to $10,000+ to manage your money. It can be hard to keep up with financial news and stay informed.
We think there's a better way, and it starts with one idea:
When the economy shifts, money shifts.
Smart investors don't chase yesterday's winners. They figure out where money is moving next, and they get there before the crowd.
That takes research, not headlines. Research is exactly what we do.
Briefs Finance was started by Jaspreet Singh.
Jaspreet graduated from law school and then never worked a single day as an attorney.
Instead, he went all-in studying the most successful investors in the world, trying to reverse-engineer how they actually build wealth. He'll be the first to tell you his real edge was being willing to work hard, screw up a lot, and never give up.
What he learned became the foundation of everything we do. The goal hasn't changed since: democratize investing education and make it accessible for regular people - not just the people who can afford a private wealth manager.
Our philosophy is simple, and a little contrarian.
The person digging the gold out of the ground knows more about the industry than someone sitting on Wall Street.
In plain English: real research beats recycled news. Here's what that looks like for us:
Everything we build is designed to take you from "I have no idea where to start" to "I know exactly why I own what I own."

Briefs Academy is our financial education platform.
It's a one-stop shop of Journeys (what we call our classes) covering building wealth, real estate investing, stock market investing, and more. Think of it as the course you wish someone handed you before you bought your first stock.
We're also building new tools to make research even easier, including the Briefs Terminal, Briefs Score, and Briefs AI. A few are still in beta, and we're just getting started.
We're a financial technology company powered by media, not a money management firm.
You can't invest in the Briefs Portfolio, and nothing we publish is personalized financial advice. Investing carries risk, and you should always talk to a licensed advisor about your specific situation.
We give you the research and the education, but the decisions are yours.
Our team of money nerds shows up every day to bring you the best financial news and research the only way we know how: from the comfort of our Briefs.
We built the company we wish existed when we were starting out. Now we want to share it with you.
So go ahead - put on your Briefs and read along with us.

In early 2024, lithium looked unstoppable. Why? From your iPhone to electric cars, lithium powers the batteries we use every day. Factories to create batteries were opening across the world, and Lithium prices were skyrocketing as a result. Then reality hit. By mid-2024, lithium prices had crashed 80% - falling all the way to $15,000 […]
Americans haven't been to the moon since 1972. Why? It’s expensive. It cost the U.S. around $25 billion ($300 billion in 2025 dollars) to send the first astronauts to the moon. Not only that, but the tech just wasn’t there - the world did not have the technology or the infrastructure a decade ago to […]
Flashback: The U.S. dollar fell more than 10% in the first half of 2025 In times of market and economic volatility, major institutions usually buy gold. Why? Gold is a physical commodity - it’s a tangible asset that takes time, money, and labor to create. Many investors believe this gives it a certain intrinsic value. […]
Over the last few years, the global economy has started to shift away from U.S. dominance. What does that mean? For decades, the world economy has been controlled by U.S. trade agreements - but that is now being challenged by a rapidly growing partnership: BRICS. The acronym stands for: But this trade group has expanded […]
Every time you ask ChatGPT a question or stream a show on Netflix, you're using a data center somewhere in America. These massive warehouses filled with servers need one thing above all else: Lots of power. A single AI data center consumes enough electricity to power 80,000 homes. As AI adoption explodes across industries, companies […]
In 2024, Africa attracted $97 billion in foreign direct investment - a 75% increase from 2023. That's more money flowing into the continent from investors than ever before in history. The largest single investment came from Abu Dhabi, which invested $24 billion in Egypt for a mega project. But even if you remove that outlier, […]
In late March 2025, Tesla (TSLA) unveiled humanoid robots that captured global attention. That same month, Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang called robotics the next "multi-trillion industry." Here's what most investors missed: While Tesla's robot demonstration included remote-controlled units (causing public backlash), a quieter revolution was already underway. The robotics industry is shifting from simple […]
Earlier in 2025, the U.S. government bought a 15% stake in a mining company. And it wasn't oil, gold, or even lithium... MP Materials - the company the U.S. took a stake in - is a rare earth minerals producer. You've probably never heard of neodymium or dysprosium. So why should investors care? But without […]
Most budgets fail within the first month. Not because people lack discipline, but because the budget itself is unrealistic, overly complicated, or fights against human nature. Why Most Budgets Fail You've probably tried budgeting before. You downloaded an app, created categories, and promised yourself this time would be different. Then you overspent on groceries. Forgot […]
The True Cost of Homeownership Most people drastically underestimate what homeownership actually costs. Beyond the Mortgage Payment Your mortgage payment is just the starting point. Here's what homeownership really costs: Property taxes: 0.5-2.5% of home value annually, depending on location. On a $400,000 home, that's $2,000-10,000 per year. Homeowners insurance: $1,000-3,000+ annually, more in high-risk […]
