Equity Trader • Investor • Contrarian • Web3 Enthusiast • Digital Entrepreneur

I'm an investment professional, digital entrepreneur and former equity trader with over 22 years of experience in trading and investing (equities, bonds and derivatives). As a self-taught web developer and solopreneur, I founded a digital business in 2012. For this business I developed digital products for WordPress, which is the leading content management system (CMS), powering ∼40% of the internet. My digital products were sold to more than 25,000 customers (e.g. Forbes Brasil, NYPD, Imgur, Femen, various celebrities as well as other well-known institutions) in over 110 countries around the world. After scaling the business significantly for 7 years and generating over $1.5 mln in sales, with a profit margin of >90%, I exited the business in 2019 through acquisition by a 3rd party. Nowadays, I mainly focus on investments in stocks, real estate, cryptocurrencies and NFTs, as well as developing highly optimized and efficient online experiences and web projects. I'm looking for startups that I can support with my know-how and experience in successfully building and scaling a business.

I'm looking for co-founders for startups in the financial industry, Web3 and crypto ecosystem.

In-depth knowledge of financial markets and various asset classes (equities, bonds, real estate, commodities, derivatives, crypto and digital assets such as NFTs). Experience in successfully building and scaling digital businesses on a global scale.
