From the shores of Northern Minnesota

Active management for Minnesotans.

You work hard for what you've built. Why leave your portfolio to chance? You need active portfolio management that reads market signals, protects your downside, and doesn't just ride the market. It navigates it, like a well-captained boat through choppy waters.

A Minnesotan who gets it

I live on a lake in northern Minnesota. I hunt. I fish. I understand what it means to work hard, plan ahead, and not take unnecessary risks with what you've built.

After a career in tech (three company exits, an IPO, and time as a Sr. Engineering Manager at Coinbase), I watched too many people lose fortunes because their "diversified index funds" dropped 30% when markets crashed. I knew there had to be a better way.

I built Fireweed Capital for fellow Minnesotans who question conventional wisdom. I hold a CFP® designation, a Doctorate in Computer Science, and I've personally invested in stocks, bonds, 500+ apartment units, real estate syndications, and nine angel investments. I understand that protecting what you've earned matters just as much as growing it.

Why Minnesotans choose active management

You didn't build what you have by taking unnecessary risks. Why start now?

Protect what you've built

Not losing money when markets drop is more valuable than capturing 100% of the upside. Our strategies aim to zig when markets zag, like knowing when to head to shore before the storm hits.

Read the signs

Markets flash warning signals just like the weather. Active management means reading those signals and positioning accordingly, not just hoping things work out.

Local roots, global expertise

I live here in northern Minnesota, on the lake, in the woods. But I've also worked in Silicon Valley, led teams at Coinbase, and bring that analytical approach to managing portfolios.

Worth the Investment

Why pay more for active management?

You don't buy the cheapest fishing gear or the bargain-bin rifle. You invest in quality because you know it matters when it counts. The same applies to your financial future. Quality management and downside protection have value that cheap index funds simply can't provide.

Protection-focused: avoiding losses matters more than chasing max gains
