The first milestone is straightforward:
€0 → €10,000
This stage is called BUILD.
Not because €10,000 is life-changing money.
Because every long-term portfolio is built on a foundation: habits, discipline, patience and a repeatable process.
Before buying a single stock, I want to define the framework that will guide every investment decision.
What I’m looking for
I’m not trying to find the next meme stock or the hottest trade of the week.
I’m looking for businesses that can create value over many years.
My ideal company has:
Strong revenue growth
Growing earnings
A healthy balance sheet
A durable competitive advantage
A large future market opportunity
Proven management
The 5 Filters
Every investment idea will be evaluated through the same lens:
1. Growth
Is the business growing?
2. Quality
Does the company have a durable advantage?
3. Financial Strength
Can it withstand difficult periods?
4. Valuation
Am I paying a reasonable price?
5. Future Potential
Can this business be significantly larger in 5–10 years?
No company will be perfect.
But every company must earn its place in the portfolio.
Areas of interest
Today, I’m spending most of my research time on:
Artificial Intelligence
Software
Semiconductors
Digital Infrastructure
Automation
Healthcare Innovation
That doesn’t mean the portfolio will only contain companies from these sectors.
It simply means that’s where I currently see some of the most compelling long-term opportunities.

Next Milestone
€10,000
In the coming weeks, I’ll start sharing the companies that make it through these filters and earn a place on the watchlist.
Subscribers will be able to follow the journey as it unfolds, while paid subscribers will get a closer look at the research, portfolio construction and the decisions behind each move.
The foundation is set.
Now it’s time to build.
