Right now, your net worth decides whether you can invest in private companies. Tappan does more than get you past the exam: it teaches you to be credible, and turns your work into data you own, to deploy or withhold, alone or with others, as you see fit. That's how ordinary Americans become owners again.
You don't do this alone. Your Junto, also called a "Leather Apron Club," is a small group climbing the same ladder you are. Tappan hands you the software, legal, and financial tools to pool your money and back each other's deals. Don't like your Junto? No problem, join or form another one.
Your Tappan blue belt signals you can judge a private deal. You complete your white belt first, by passing the White Belt assessment and working out your investing-relevant virtue muscles, then progress from there. Each belt is your way further into the Tappan network.

Members start immediately through secure Stripe checkout.

How pricing works

The White Belt curriculum is $30/month, self-paced, with Lewis & Arthur AI support and a network of peers. As you learn, Tappan builds a data-backed record of your efforts, knowledge, skills, and virtues, echoing the work of Franklin and the original Tappan network. You own that data; Tappan helps you leverage it.

Exam fees ($80 SIE, $187 Series 65) are paid directly to FINRA, not Tappan.
