Like I'm 5 explains startup, finance & investing terms in plain language. Ask any term → get a calm, clear lesson → build words you’ll actually hear at work or as a founder. Built for beginners and working professionals who want clarity without jargon. Try it: https://likeiam5.in Feedback welcome - drop a term you want explained simply.
Today is for teachers - the people who make hard things feel possible. That idea is why I built Like I'm 5.
While working full-time, I kept hearing startup and finance words in meetings and online - and didn’t always fully get them. I wished someone would explain them calmly, like a patient teacher.
So I built a simple place to learn:
• Ask any term • Get a plain-language lesson • Build vocabulary you’ll actually hear at work or as a founder
Like I'm 5 is for beginners and working professionals who want clarity without jargon.
Hey Hunters, one thing we built into Like I'm 5™ that I'm weirdly proud of: Lens. (People call it Personas)
Not marketing personas. Actual learning ones.
You pick who you are in the room - beginner, entrepreneur, investor, MBA-brain, or straight-up "explain it like I'm five" - and the same startup / finance / investing idea gets rewritten for that altitude.
Same concept. Different clarity. So you're not pretending you already know… and you're not drowning in jargon either.
If you've ever sat in a meeting translating every third word in your head, this is for you.
