Andrew Page. G'day, mate. Welcome to the Australian Finance Podcast. Owen, I'm pleased to be here, mate. Always a pleasure. Yeah, it's always great to chat. For those who don't know, Andrew and I are mates. We go way back to the Motley Fool days. But Andrew, you've since started a website called Strawman, and I bet that some of our listeners are already quite familiar with it. Tell us a bit about Strawman. When did you start it? Why do people go there? Thousands of people go there. Why?
What is it? What's so good about this place? Well, it's funny. It's like a lot of things. It's sort of you have an idea and then it evolves and you pivot and you tweak and that kind of thing. But it was actually launched a public beta version back in early 2018. And I guess the problem we were trying to solve is that, and I'm sure a lot of your listeners know this, there's a lot of stuff online when it comes to opinion on investing and finance and the rest of it. It's just a very noisy place. And it's just really hard to know who to trust. you know, everyone's Warren Buffett on Twitter, you know? And so I was like, well, maybe you are, probably you're not. But so we wanted to sort of have a platform where people could share ideas, test their own thinking, all that kind of stuff, but that we just put accountability around it.
So you've got like a play money stock market portfolio that you can paper trade the ASX and A, it's a bit of experience and hopefully help you gain a bit more confidence with all that kind of stuff, but also to help build a track record and build credibility. And so, yeah, and just recently, really in the last few weeks, we've launched Strongman Premium. And the way to think think about that is really we get rid of all the sort of the tech jargon is we're just an investment club. We're an online investment club. And like any investment club, whether it's around a kitchen table or like us, you're on a platform online. It's just about connecting self-directed investors together, sharing ideas, leveraging the collective experience and wisdom and intelligence of the crowd, and hopefully arming people to make more informed decisions and get better results.
