Tim Ranzetta

Tim Ranzetta is Co-Founder and CEO of Next Gen Personal Finance (NGPF), a national nonprofit with the mission to ensure that every student in America benefits from a personal finance course before graduating from high school. NGPF provides curriculum and teacher training at no cost, reaching more than 150,000 educators and five million students annually. NGPF has led the movement to guarantee personal finance education in 30 states, covering 76 percent of U.S. high school students.

In 2026, Tim founded the No Bench Project, a new nonprofit dedicated to bringing intramural sports to every middle school in America: classmates playing classmates in their own gym, with no tryouts, no cuts and no cost to families, during the years when most kids quit playing sports. It will apply the playbook that built NGPF: practical tools for educators, a national community of practitioners, and state-level advocacy.

Before NGPF, Tim helped scale two businesses: InstaShred, a document destruction company that grew from two cities to a national footprint before its sale, and Equilar, now the leading provider of executive compensation data to a majority of the Fortune 500. He discovered his passion for financial education as a volunteer teacher at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, which led him to co-found NGPF in 2014.

Tim holds an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and an undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia, where he pitched for the baseball team.
