Max Rofagha didn't have a background in media prior to launching Finimize. He also didn't have a background in finance for that matter. It was while conducting research on how to manage his own investments that he saw an opportunity for a daily newsletter aimed at helping millennials become more literate in finance.
Flash forward four years and Finimize now has over 1 million subscribers, a staff of financial analysts, and a worldwide community of young professionals who often meet up for in-person events.
I recently interviewed Max about his early audience development strategy, how his subscribers organize their own in-person events, and why he decided to launch a subscription-funded mobile app.
