These are the key values and ideas behind our upgraded structure:
Investment talent focus – Good Investing Plus wants to help investment talent grow and flourish. We want to build a great and supportive place that offers great value for money for investment talent.
Give back – We want to invite members that profited from Good Investing Plus to give back to the community. By doing that, they allow us to give the same critical help they received to other investors. Over time, this makes the whole community and the investing ecosystem better.
Solidarity allows more diversity – Stronger shoulders can carry more. That is why our membership is increasing by assets under management. This solidarity allows us to support students and investors from diverse backgrounds in their growth.
Scale economies shared – We want to use the cash flow from the membership to increase the service (quality) and make the community more attractive to investment talents. So, we increase the quality of the investing ecosystem.
These are the key reasons for the shift to a paid membership:
We strengthen the sustainability of the community – We are building Good Investing Plus for the long term. A community with a paying base is more sustainable. Therefore, it can deliver more long-term value for all stakeholders.
A paying member base helps us increase the community’s value – We can use this cash flow to reinvest in better service quality, double down on new ideas, and have more room for innovation.
A paid community is more attractive for outside partners – Paying is the ultimate sign of a serious commitment. A paying member base makes us more attractive for cooperation with outside partners. These cooperation will increase the value of the community in the future.
Better opportunities to grow strong ties – After more than two years of growth to a large member base, this transformation allows us to grow differently from 2024. We can focus on growing stronger ties between members.
This is what members of Good Investing Plus value about the community
Here you can find insights of our members.
A resource for any (emerging) fund manager
Especially as a young fund manager, it is challenging to build a network. Good Investing was incredibly helpful in finding contacts that still strongly support our investment process today. Moreover, we have also found Good Investing helpful in other dimensions of our business-building journey. An excellent resource for emerging fund managers!
Good Investing helped me to find many new investments. In addition to engaging online and offline events, a platform is a pleasant place to question your investments, ideas, and strategies and to get intelligent feedback from great people. Since I started investing, I’ve been looking for a home to have high-level discussions: With Good Investing, I found it!
Good Investing is a great resource to learn from fellow investors, of differing investing styles, from around the world. I’ve enjoyed listening to the interviews on Good Investing and have connected with many participants offline (some of whom I now consider friends). Tilman is a proactive connector of people and has curated a unique group of life-long learners. It’s an honor to be part of the community.
Enormous support to become a professional investor
Good Investing helped to find my first job as a professional investor fast. In addition, I regularly get exciting new contacts from all over the world. I also enjoy the community-organized meetings where I can meet other investors casually to network and chat.
Here are some examples how we have improved in the past:
Increased quality of content and guests – Since inception, we have continuously improved the quality of the community. A lot of good contributions have been made – and they even increased in quality. Also, the quality of our event guests have gotten better.
The Omaha experience – Visiting the Berkshire Hathaway Meeting in Omaha became a part of our community experience. 2022 we started with just above 30 visitors. In 2023, we offered our loved community program on the ground for above 130 members.
Better digital experience – We run Good Investing Plus on the awesome community software Circle. Over the last years, got better and better. An improved member directory, an easy to use app, automated community events and more and more have been added to Circle.
Enhanced meetings and events presence – Good Investing Plus wants to allow our members to meet. Therefore, we offer a growing number of local meetings in a city near you. We are also present at selected capital markets events to add value to our members.
These are some of the improvements that are in our pipeline:
Idea conference(s) – We want to bring the idea sharing process in the community to another level with dedicated idea events.
Circle courses – In our community platform, Circle, we are working on launching a series of helpful courses. They will enhance our community experience and offer free, additional educational offers.
Fund starter academy – To help people that want to start a fund, we are forming the Fund Starter Academy. Together with exclusive industry partners we want to build a digital and tailored format to educate fund starters. We will announce more soon!
More value for Emerging Managers – We want to continue adding value for Emerging Managers and investment business builders. Formats like the office hours for fund managers, the Q&As with experienced business builders, and the Emerging Managers Meeting in Omaha will be further enhanced. New formats, like our Berlin conference, are planned to grow the offer.

If you find a new team member through our community, we kindly request your support by contributing a fee equivalent between one to three times of the gross monthly income of the new team member. The specific fee height will be determined based on our effort to assist you. The more time we invest the higher the fee will be.
We want to be incentivized to grow with our members and to enable business via the community. If the community has played a significant role in increasing your Assets Under Management (AUM), we kindly request a yearly fee of 0.2% on the community acquired AUM for as long as you manage them.

Sure! We will send out an invoice in the days after you have made the payment. For your documents, we will also setup an automatic yearly invoice that will be sent after your payment. This invoice will fit European book keeping standards.
We want to keep costs and management efforts as low as possible. Sadly, monthly and quarterly payments lead to extra costs. This is why we don’t offer them.
We prefer the credit card payment as it makes payments easier to manage for both sides. Via Wise*, are able to get a free account and credit card and can profit from other advantages, like cheap FX rates or interest payments.
In case you don’t want to get a credit card, we can offer you a payment based on an invoice. The invoice will be sent to you yearly and payable within 14 days.
Within the first 30 days, you can try the community for free. After that period, you have to pay to stay a member. When creating an account, we will ask you for your credit card information to simplify onboarding.

This special discount should help these members to stay:
Students: Students can get a 50% membership discount for the regular membership. The membership will be upgraded to a regular membership after finishing studies.
Investors from Emerging Markets are able to get this discount, if they have a lower income than investors from developed markets.
With the 50% discount, you will only have limited access to the Good Investing Omaha conference. In case you plan to come to Omaha, we strongly recommend choosing the regular membership.
To simplify your membership, we are merging the Supporters Club into the paid membership. Sadly, you must set up your payment once again in the Plus community. We are sorry, but both systems aren’t compatible.
As a Supporters Club member, we would recommend to re-subscribe in late December as a member. Then the membership fee will be processed after the trial period in January.
In case, you want to resubscribe later after your one year billing cycle for the Supporters Club has ended, please send Tilman a DM in Circle.
Via Circle, you can cancel your membership at any time. Once the end date of your payment duration is reached, you will lose access to the community.

Sadly, then we will deactivate your membership. You will loose all your membership benefits and will have to re-apply in the future. Please be aware that will have less benefits and the price might be higher.
