Vestpod is a financial literacy platform for women that aims to make the subject of money less daunting through custom workshops, educational resources, events and an engaging podcast.
Founded by Emilie Bellet, an ex-private equity analyst, Vestpod is a digital platform that aims to make finance relatable and easy to process -- thanks to the prevalence of intimidating language among traditional investment firms, resulting in financial concepts that are made to sound more complex than they are.
Hosting 21 events in London last year, the brand also introduced founder Emilie Bellet's first book "You’Re Not Broke, You’re Pre-Rich," along with adding new episodes to its podcast The Wallet. Featured episodes have included themes like building a mindset for success, launching a business with limited funding and repaying credit card debt.
