About Upside

We created Upside so that you don’t have to make tradeoffs between today and tomorrow.

We Still Believe in the American Dream
We believe higher education is the most reliable path to that Dream. But, getting an education and working hard is no longer enough. Why? What happened?

There was a time, not too long ago, when college was the cost of a car. Now it’s the cost of a house. But, you still only have 10 years to pay it off -- early in your career when you’re earning the least.

What’s the result? Generations of young professionals are delaying marriage, delaying having kids, delaying buying a home. Very few have the luxury to build wealth until after they pay off their student debt.

Shouldn’t you be able to pay your student debt and pay your bills and save for the future? Wasn’t that the whole point of getting an education? We believe that should be enough.

Get a good education, work hard, build a comfortable life.

We're people like you.

Disclosures
We've partnered with Helium Advisors LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser, to bring you investing features. All investment advisory services are provided by Helium. We receive compensation as a percentage of assets managed by Helium for promoting Helium’s investment advisory services. Our partnership with Helium gives us an incentive to refer you to Helium instead of another investment adviser that is not a partner of ours. This conflict of interest affects our ability to provide you with unbiased, objective information about the services of Helium. This could mean that the services of another investment adviser with whom we are not partnered may be more appropriate for you than those of Helium. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal, and there is no assurance that the investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. Helium accounts are not bank guaranteed or FDIC insured.
