Honest conversations
We say things early and directly, especially when something is not working. Disagreement is normal. The aim is to find the better answer, not to protect anyone’s ego.
About
We built Ikaros to trade our own research.
Ownership
Founder-owned.
No outside investors. No clients. We decide what to research, what to trade and when to stop.
In practice
How we work together.
Feedback every two weeks
Every two weeks, we sit down for a proper two-way conversation about what is going well, what needs to change and where help is needed. That's not only about professional development; we want there to be space to grow as a person too.
Fair compensation
We have worked in roles where compensation did not come close to the value of the work. We do not want to repeat that. Contribution should be reflected in both credit and compensation.
Today
A small firm, by choice.
We're a team of five today. We're hiring.
We work out of Liechtenstein and build the full stack ourselves: research, execution and the infrastructure underneath.
