What you'll learn

What an investment thesis actually is

A testable belief about where outliers come from, held firmly and updated when the evidence changes.

The MUST framework, applied live

MUST is my framework for turning a hunch into a working investment thesis. Learn it, then apply it to a real company.

Write your own one-line thesis

Leave with a single sentence you can say, defend, and revise on the way to your first check

Why this topic matters

Most people invest on instinct and hope it holds up. A thesis replaces hope with a belief you can test: where the next outliers come from, and why. In this free session we'll build one live using MUST, my framework for prototyping an investment thesis, on a real company you'll recognize. You'll leave with a one-line thesis, a way to test it against evidence, and a clearer path to your first check.
