Baby Fund
A crowdfunding registry for expecting parents. Friends and family donate money at baby showers that is locked into index tracker funds for the child's future, rather than buying physical gifts.

Why now
Millennials are stressed about the demographic decline, high costs of childcare, and the inability to guarantee their children a reasonable standard of living.
Market gap
Current baby registries focus on short-term physical goods (spoons, plates) rather than addressing the massive anxiety around long-term financial security for the child.
