We Are On A Mission

We help ordinary Europeans achieve financial freedom through dividend growth investing. By encouraging diversified dividend growth portfolios built on safe dividends at a reasonable price, we aim to make financial independence achievable for everyone.

What Inspires Us

How It Started

We first met in May 2020 over Google Meet to chat about dividends. After an engaging conversation and hearing ourselves talk, we had a wild idea—why not record it and start a podcast? We barely knew each other, having only exchanged a few messages on Twitter, but that great conversation sparked something bigger. This was just the beginning of what would lead to our bold vision: helping ordinary Europeans achieve financial freedom through dividend growth investing. 

We’re very ambitious, and while we’ve already accomplished a lot, we’re eager to see what else lies ahead on this journey.
