Investing
As a side hobby, I've been investing in projects and companies that I love and use since 2013. My net IRR is roughly 74% as of April 2025.
I plan to set this up as a company at some point and open this up for friends and family. If you'll be interested, DM me on X @ x.com/arpwal and I'll add you to the list.
