The Tomato Timer - a ZNotes Pomcast ZNotes

Personal finance is a huge thing and we all should at least know the basics about it. But schools or universities don’t teach it. If you don’t control your money, it might control you. And that’s really not a good thing. In this episode, we dive deep into learning about this from the founder of Invest it!, Victor Neumann.

Who is Victor Neumann?

Victor is the founder of Invest It!, a non-profit initiative based in Germany and are on a mission to educate the youth about finance and economics. He started his first startup project at the age of 16 in high school and made it to the semi-finals of the National Startup Competition for Schools.

He also  co-authored a book in 2021 that is published with a well-known German publishing company which talks about how to build and scale a remote team and culture.
