Startup FiscalPie aims to link financial information to the social graph. The company offers a “Retire Where?” app on Facebook that shows you which cities you’ll be able to afford in retirement and to compare your city to the future location of your friends.
Here’s how TechCrunch described it:
FiscalPie works to make the myriad sources of financial information on the Web more reflective of your own specific circumstances—while keeping your information private —by creating an anonymous network of people that share similar financial profiles. Until the individual truly becomes part of the conversation, financial information has little significance. FiscalPie is hoping to start that dialog—socially.
There have been precious few attempts to marry the social graph to a financial endeavor, or even financial information, beyond the peer-to-peer lending fad. We’re seeing more of those today, but not in the retirement space. FiscalPie aims for that demographic, and while I can’t for the life of me see how they are doing to monetize their app, I welcome its launch.
