About

I am 38 now, but I started investing in 2014, when I was 26. To be honest, I wish I had started even earlier.

Back then, I knew almost nothing about investing. My parents did not invest, school did not teach us how money works, and I had no real idea where to begin. In the end, one simple thing got me moving: I met a couple of friends who were interested in investing. That one conversation changed the direction of my life more than I realised at the time.

I started small, with just 25 euros a month. No big salary, no financial background, no master plan. I had become an entrepreneur at 24, and those early years were financially tight. Money came in and went out, and very little felt certain. Even so, I put something aside every month, because I understood that over the long run, what matters most is not perfect timing, but simply getting started.

Slowly, it began to matter.

Over the years as an entrepreneur, investing became a kind of safety net for me. It gave me breathing room, confidence, and the feeling that I was building something even in the middle of uncertainty. When my income fluctuated, those investments reminded me that progress can happen quietly in the background, even when nothing looks dramatic on the surface.

At first, I bought individual stocks and a few index funds. I made mistakes, got caught up in hype, and learned some lessons the hard way. Today, almost everything I own is in index funds, because they are simple, reliable, and highly effective over the long term.

My portfolio is up around 140 percent. If I had invested everything in the S&P 500 from the start, the return would have been over 270 percent. Even so, the most important lesson is not that I got everything right. It is the opposite: even with a messy start and plenty of mistakes, consistency still had time to do its work. I have built a portfolio that gives me real security for the future. At the same time, my need to do things purely for money has become smaller.

At the end of 2025, I was travelling in Thailand and met two young French men in a restaurant on Ko Lanta. We ended up talking for more than three hours about life, choices, and investing. During that conversation, they became genuinely interested in the topic, and it turned out that in their country too, there is very little clear, long-term, beginner-friendly investing content for young people. Especially the kind of “boring” content that does not try to sell dreams of quick profits, but instead helps people understand the basics calmly and clearly.

That conversation stayed with me. It was in that moment that the idea for this website really started to take shape.

That is why I am creating this content now. I decided that I want to do my part to encourage especially younger people to start investing for the long term.

I do not want you to start at 26, like I did. I want you to start at 16, 18, or 20, as soon as you have the chance. I want to be the friend many people never had — the one who makes investing feel more understandable, calmer, and easier to approach.

If I can help even one person start today with one, ten, or twenty euros a month, this will have been worth it.
