Hi,
I have been working in finance for the past ten years most of that doing quantitative electronic trading. I have a computer science degree and worked as a web/database developer in college and a couple years after college.
I loved trading and was working for myself for about 4 years but the volatility is not what I wanted long term. I tried starting my own hedge fund but found out I'm a terrible sales person and had bad timing as everyone was taking money out of hedge funds in 2014/2015 also my trading wasn't making as much as I had prior.
I set off to get a stable job where it was no longer eat what you kill and found myself surrounded by people I didn't respect. I found out about this forum though reddit entrepreneur and then picked up unscripted . I'm a little over halfway through.
I am still working my 9-5 but it is easy and spending about 20hours a week working on my business vision.
I am planning on eventually starting a Private Equity fund for digital assets. Meaning I'm going to buy revenue generating websites, apps, etc fixed them up and either resell them or find strategic rollups to increase multiple to sell later.
First I will start by buying a website off of one of the many marketplaces available. Currently I'm just in learning mode reading and improving marketing skills.
Thanks for reading.
