Why subscribe?

Welcome — and thank you for being here.

This publication exists because I believe in the value of consistent, independent thinking — shared without noise, algorithms, or commercial pressure. If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place. You will get independent analysis on mostly European family owned companies which stood the test of time. My focus is on longevity, endurance and compounding.

What You Get for Free

Anyone can sign up to receive:

  • Regular essays, insights, or commentary

  • Invitations to conversations or Q&As

  • Early access to new ideas as they’re developed

I’ll always keep a good portion of the writing free — because I believe thoughtful ideas should be shared openly.

What Paid Subscribers Receive

Paid subscribers get everything above, plus:

  • Exclusive posts that go deeper, more personal, or more practical

  • Access to the full archive (older posts become subscriber-only after 2 weeks)

  • Occasional bonus materials (notes, essays, links, or drafts in progress)

  • Priority for replies, questions, or feedback

  • A quiet sense of being part of what makes this sustainable

You’re not just buying content. You’re supporting the rhythm and resilience of independent work.

Why It Matters

This is a slow, long-term project. No ads. No clickbait. No growth hacks. Just quiet, considered publishing.

Your support allows me to:

  • Spend more time on meaningful writing

  • Keep this space free of clutter and noise

  • Make this a lasting, reader-supported home

Founding Members

If you feel particularly aligned with this project’s vision, consider becoming a Founding Member. You’ll receive everything paid subscribers do, plus:

  • Early access to upcoming ideas or projects

  • Quiet recognition as a founding supporter of this publication

It is the strongest sign of approval for my work and I will truly appreciate it.

No Pressure

If now isn’t the right time to pay, please keep reading as a free subscriber — you're always welcome here.

But if you’ve found value in this work, and want to help it grow, becoming a paid subscriber is the best way to do that.

Thank you for reading — and for being part of this.
