Our Financial Journey
From a small Sydney startup to Australia's trusted partner in financial education. Here's how we've grown alongside thousands of learners since 2018.
The Beginning: A Shared Frustration
Founders Kelvin Bracknell and Margot Seville met at a financial literacy workshop in Sydney. Both had struggled with personal budgeting despite having decent incomes – and they weren't alone. Research showed that 64% of Australians couldn't cover a 00 emergency expense.
Foundation Milestones:
- Incorporated glavianteris Pty Ltd in February
- Secured initial funding of 0,000
- Established headquarters at Clarence Street
- Launched beta program with 50 participants
Growth Through Challenge
The pandemic actually accelerated our mission. As Australians faced unprecedented economic uncertainty, our practical budgeting workshops moved online. What started as a necessity became our strength – we could now reach regional communities previously limited by geography.
Key Achievements:
- Served 3,200+ learners across all Australian states
- Developed specialized programs for different life stages
- Partnered with 12 community organizations
- Maintained 94% course completion rate
Expanding Horizons
Today, we're more than just budgeting educators. Our programs now cover everything from understanding superannuation to navigating housing affordability. We've learned that financial wellness isn't one-size-fits-all – it's deeply personal and constantly evolving.
Current Impact:
- 8,500+ graduates from our core programs
- Average debt reduction of ,200 per participant
- Programs available in six formats

Looking Forward
Financial stress affects too many Australians, but it doesn't have to be permanent. By 2026, we're committed to making financial education accessible in every Australian community – because everyone deserves the confidence that comes with financial control.
