Building Financial Literacy That Actually Sticks
We started Droxo Fwitu because too many people felt overwhelmed by investment jargon and abandoned their financial goals before they even started. Since 2019, we've been translating complex concepts into practical knowledge that people can use right away.
How We Got Here
Back in early 2019, our founder was sitting in a coffee shop helping a friend understand why her savings account was losing value to inflation. That conversation turned into a weekend workshop, which became a monthly meetup, and eventually grew into what Droxo Fwitu is today.
What struck us was how many smart, capable people avoided investing simply because the industry made everything sound deliberately complicated. We figured there had to be a better way to teach this stuff—one that didn't require a finance degree to understand.
So we built our programs around real scenarios. Instead of lecturing about portfolio theory, we walk through actual decisions people face: should you pay off debt first, how much emergency fund is enough, when does it make sense to hire an advisor. The kind of questions that keep you up at night.
What Drives Our Work
Plain Language Always
If we can't explain something in everyday words, we don't fully understand it ourselves. No unnecessary jargon, no hiding behind complexity to sound smart.
Real Scenarios First
We start with situations people actually encounter, then build the concepts around those. Theory comes second to practical application because that's what helps knowledge stick.
Honest About Limits
Investment education can't guarantee outcomes or replace personalized advice. We're clear about what our programs can and can't do for your specific situation.
Our Teaching Philosophy
We've noticed something interesting over the years. People don't need more information about investing—it's everywhere online. What they need is a framework for making decisions when information conflicts, which it often does.
That's why our curriculum focuses on building judgment rather than memorizing facts. We present competing perspectives, walk through the trade-offs, and help you develop your own approach based on your circumstances.
And we build in lots of practice. You'll work through case studies, analyze real investment options, and discuss decisions with other learners. Because reading about diversification is one thing—actually building a balanced portfolio is where the learning happens.
Who's Behind This
Our team brings together people who've worked in financial planning, taught adult education, and struggled with their own investment decisions. That mix of experience shapes how we design every course.
Rasmus Lindqvist
Program Director
Former financial advisor who got tired of industry complexity and started teaching evening classes at community centers. Built our core curriculum from those early workshops.
Veljko Petrović
Lead Instructor
Spent years explaining investment concepts to engineering colleagues who wanted straight answers. Specializes in breaking down complex topics without losing important nuance.
Growing Over Time
First Workshop Series
Started with twelve people in a borrowed meeting room, teaching investment basics over six Saturday mornings. The feedback convinced us this approach worked.
Expanded Curriculum
Added intermediate and advanced tracks after learners kept asking what came next. Developed case studies based on real situations people shared with us.
Online Platform Launch
Built virtual learning options so people outside Port Stanley could access our programs. Kept the discussion-based format that makes our approach effective.
Community Partnerships
Working with local organizations to offer specialized programs for different groups—recent graduates, career changers, people planning retirement. Each needs a slightly different focus.
