Founder-Led Investing: Building Accessible Wealth Strategies with Michael Monaghan

In this episode of The Growth Class, host Phil Masiello interviews Michael Monaghan, Partner and Portfolio Manager at Founder ETFs LLC, about the creation and strategy behind the Founders 100 ETF (ticker: FFF) and how founder‑led companies can offer unique long‑term investment opportunities. Michael explains how FFF trades on major U.S. exchanges and is designed to be accessible to a broad range of investors, allowing participation through familiar brokerage platforms while intentionally setting the fund’s net asset value near $20 to make it approachable for individuals at all stages of their financial journey; he also shares the mission behind the fund, which is to help people convert wages into capital assets and get on the “right side of inflation” through disciplined, founder‑centric investing.Founder ETFs LLC website: https://www.founderetfs.com  There are a lot of  "experts" out there giving advice who’ve never built a thing. They’ve never stayed up all night sweating a product launch. Never had to scale a team. Never had to meet payroll.They’re just regurgitating what they read in someone else’s book.That’s not me. I’ve built brands. I’ve scaled them. I’ve exited them. I’ve failed, won, and fought through it all.And now, my team and I help brands do it every single day — across eCommerce, retail, and digital. We don’t just advise — we execute. We write the playbook.So if you’re done with fluff, fake gurus, and marketers who’ve never sold anything outside of a slide deck — you’re in the right place.This show is real strategies, real tactics, and real talk.https://www.facebook.com/philmasiellohttps://www.instagram.com/philmasiello/https://www.tiktok.com/@philmasiellohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-masiello/https://www.youtube.com/@philmasiello#StartupGrowth #EcommerceTips #ScaleYourBrand #DTCMarketing #PhilMasiello #GrowthClass #BrandStrategy #MarketingPodcast #CrunchGrowth #StartupTips #BusinessGrowth
