Curvo is an app on a mission to help young Belgians passively invest through index funds. It all started when CEO and co-founder Thomas Ketchell, tired of his low returns from keeping his money in savings accounts, found passive investing.

Now, hundreds of users worldwide use Curvo to superpower savings and improve their financial well-being.

What's more amazing is that Curvo is a self-funded business—co-founders Thomas and Yoran don't rely on investors, crowdfunding or bank loans and has been building in public for two years.

In this episode, our host, Shameer Sachdev sat down with Thomas Ketchell, CEO at Curvo, to talk about the journey of building a financial product in public with zero funding.
