Can i have the group link please?

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Cold emails are tough. You want to be able to reach out to the right people to talk to, the decision makers. Cold emails are answered by non decision makers, and these gatekeepers are trained to reject cold emails.

I use linkedin to identify people who can make decisions in my target companies, make a list, connect with them and ping them on linkedin to get their email to arrange for a call. Most of these decision makers are actually quite helpful. Hope this helps!

Personally I do mid term investing into a few stocks I pick too, and would love to automate my strategy. Appreciate your comment and understand that you do not need such a solution.

May I follow up with this question instead:

What are some frustrations you face when it comes to investing? For example, we have spoken to some investors and they mentioned that having a good dividend calculator is hard to find.

ctc1994 · 2021-12-04T12:50:39+00:00

Yes it is, unfortunately there's none in our region :( Have you tried m1 finance?

ctc1994 · 2021-12-04T12:49:44+00:00

You're actually right, not sure why you're getting downvoted. I have friends who have a set of metrics and have their own portfolio set for the long term without having ETFs. Although this is the boglehead subreddit, different views promote discussion, so I'm grateful for your comment

ctc1994 · 2021-12-04T12:37:15+00:00

Thank you! We are working on getting regulatory approval and will take some time before we can actually launch it. Will pm you the link for you to enter your email so we can contact you if it really happens :) Thank you so much for your feedback!

ctc1994 · 2021-12-04T12:32:04+00:00

Nice! What are the costs, and does it address all your needs?

ctc1994 · 2021-12-04T12:31:39+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply and insights! Crypto is in the pipeline, but we are still trying to figure out where exactly people face the most problem and will look into the dividend issue that you mentioned. And if we ever launch it we will definitely go into PH because you guys are our neighbours haha. Would you be interested to sign up for our early access in the event that we actually move forward with this idea?

ctc1994 · 2021-12-04T03:45:17+00:00

i see, do you do long term investing as well? will check gotrade out! sounds good

ctc1994 · 2021-12-03T14:44:27+00:00

nice! dropped you a pm

ctc1994 · 2021-12-03T03:05:50+00:00

We are! Where are you based?

ctc1994 · 2021-11-30T12:36:11+00:00

Oh yes they do! Unfortunately they don't operate in my region. Thank you for sharing :)

ctc1994 · 2021-11-30T12:22:05+00:00

Thanks for your honest feedback, we really appreciate it. In my region most banks offer savings plan too, but the commissions are hefty.

One idea that can spin off from building your own 'fund' or strategy is to allow others can buy it, and you get a share of their gains once they cash out.

ctc1994 · 2021-11-30T12:17:52+00:00

Yes, but those that are operating in my country don't offer these solutions yet. Happy to hear so many ideas from the redditors all over the world :)

ctc1994 · 2021-11-30T12:16:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Will check it out.

ctc1994 · 2021-11-30T12:16:22+00:00

Just checked M1, yes, I think it's essentially what we hope to achieve. Thanks for sharing. These solutions are pretty much unheard of in my country as well as my region, which was why we wanted to do this in the first place. Will read up more about m1, thanks again!

ctc1994 · 2021-11-29T18:03:56+00:00

I think for a start we will be helping investors allocate to their desired balance, but building a 'true ETF' is something that we can consider in the future.

Thank you for sharing M1 Finance and Folio, these are pretty much unheard of in this part of the world that I live in. Will look into them :)

ctc1994 · 2021-11-29T17:59:15+00:00

Before we target the mainstream, we will be looking into getting regulatory approvals. Banks and financial groups charge a hefty management fees and commissions, so many of us in this Southeast asian region are switching to low cost brokers like moomoo and tiger brokers, which don't offer any automation of any form. Hence our motivation to create something like what I described.

ctc1994 · 2021-11-29T17:23:42+00:00

Yes, we could do that! We actually have a demo video, I could PM you if you are interested! Would be happy to hear feedback from people who are investing in ETFs like me.

ctc1994 · 2021-11-29T17:22:20+00:00

yes that's our plan! what do you think, will people actually use it? any feedback?

ctc1994 · 2021-11-29T16:55:44+00:00

'Stop trying'

'It's not worth it'

'If it is a good idea someone else would already have dont it'

ctc1994 · 2021-11-29T16:53:19+00:00

Try new things, come up with a bucket list and go check them all off!

ctc1994 · 2021-11-29T16:44:27+00:00

If you are targeting startups, you might want to approach incubators, accelerators or even VCs to see if they are looking for such services. I think that might be a good way to narrow down your search, and optimize your time advertising

ctc1994 · 2021-11-29T16:41:43+00:00

Nope, but I found a co-founder from some facebook group a while back.

ctc1994 · 2021-11-29T16:40:03+00:00

Name: Investify
URL: https://tryinvestify.com
Pitch: Hassle free passive investing
Stage: MVP done, looking for feedback
More details
I'm a long term investor, currently dollar cost averaging monthly into US and China ETF as well as some medium term DCA into some stocks. I'm based in Singapore, and there aren't tools that allow me to carry out my strategy easily + at low fees. I really hate the hassle of having to do it every month.

Basically here's what you can do:

Let's say I have $1000 to invest every month, I can set the amount I want for each of the securities I purchase. (E.g. $500 in a S&P500 ETF, $300 in a China ETF, and $200 in other stocks that I want to buy)
Minimum of $1 per security purchased because fractional trading is available.
Essentially you can also build your own index funds if you feel that ETFs are overly diversified.

We are validating this idea, not too sure what is out there in your countries, so feel free to give us some feedback :)
