Milllenials as a group are about to move into their prime earning and spending years. However, 80% of millennials according to a recent Harris Poll are not invested in the Stock Market. 

Design a compelling and innovative propostion to get millenials trading, investing and setting money aside for their future. Think about how you can make this ultra low-cost and transparent and how you can integrate social features. Also, how would you acquire and retain your users and promote your solution amongst millennials?
