Viktor Nebehaj didn’t originally want to get into investing. Preferring technology over finance, he started to get more interested in the financial world after a stint at Google left him with some stock. Fast forward to the present day, and Viktor is the co-founder of Freetrade, the main commission free trading platform in the U.K. With a goal of helping people build wealth through the financial world, listen in for more about that, and tips on avoiding the pitfalls that come with investing in complex financial products.
In this episode of the Limit Up! podcast, we talk to Viktor about growing up in Europe, working at Google on SEO, and investing in international markets. Viktor and the team are now looking to expand into Europe soon, and possibly beyond that in the future.
Viktor is the co-founder of Freetrade, the main commission-free trading app, or neo-broker, in the UK, soon launching in Europe. Viktor grew up in Eastern Europe and joined Google’s early European team in 2005, where he spent seven years based in Dublin, Ireland. After a year-long gig in Hong Kong, where he headed up search engine optimization Asia-wide at an agency, he began his startup journey as an operator and investor. He is a public equity investor focused on tech companies as well. Viktor holds an MBA from the Central European University and lives in London with his wife.
