Eve Halimi
Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Alinea Invest

My name is Eve Halimi, and I am the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Alinea Invest. I am originally French and born in Paris but have grown up living in London, Tel Aviv and now New York. My passion around investing started when I was much younger as I was lucky to grow up in an environment where I learned about the stock market through dinner table conversations with family. As I started interning in Finance both on the buy and sell side, I was extremely frustrated by the fact that none of my girlfriends at Barnard were investing or talking about investing while all my guy friends had been investing with Robinhood and Coinbase since the age of 15. Anam Lakhani and I founded Alinea Invest during our senior year at Barnard through an entrepreneurship program called the Athena Center for Leadership Studies as we shared the same passion. Ever since we have grown the idea of educating women around us on the basics of finance to building a social trading platform with education materials that we hope will bring more younger women to the investing world as we make it more accessible to all. Join us on this journey!

Anam Lakhani
Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Alinea Invest

My name is Anam Lakhani and I am the co-founder and co-CEO of Alinea Invest. The world of finance and investing was always an obscure mystery to me, but I was fascinated and wanted to learn more. As I went further into my journey, I realized there is no place for women like me to come together, learn and encourage each other to move forward in our investing journeys. Eve Halimi and I co-founded Alinea Invest in our senior year at Columbia University when we realized investing has always been for the boys and we need to actively work together to change this.
