From a £500 account to an eight-figure exit story.

A trader before a founder.

I started trading at 18 with a small account, a part-time job and more losses than wins. What I had going for me was time, a stubborn habit of writing down what went wrong, and a growing list of people asking how I was doing it.

TeamFX began as the answer to that question: a structured course built from my own trading journal, sold to the first few students from my bedroom in Cheddar, Somerset.

From a course to a platform.

Demand outran what one person could teach, so the course became a platform: recorded modules, live sessions, mentors and a community that ran around the clock. We hired coaches, support and a content team, moved from a laptop to a studio, and opened a second base in the UAE.

• Multilingual delivery in English, Spanish, French, Italian and Arabic
• A membership model with retention, not just one-off sales
• In-house marketing across paid social, affiliates and organic content
• A team of 10 across the UK and the UAE

International by default.

By 2020 the audience was global: Europe, the Middle East and Asia, each with its own language, payment preferences and rules on how trading education may be promoted. Running that taught me the operating side of a financial-adjacent business: payments and chargebacks, compliance of promotion, hiring across borders and managing a remote team.

Revenue reached eight figures in sterling and TeamFX became a recognised brand in the trading education space, with 45,000+ students across 10+ countries. The story was picked up by the national press, including Metro and The Sun, and in 2020 I appeared on Channel 5's Rich Kids Go Homeless.

Sold, rebranded, moved on.

In 2022 TeamFX was acquired by a private education corporation in a seven-figure deal. The buyer rebranded the product and folded it into their own portfolio. I stepped away with my first exit before the age of 25, moved to Dubai and put the proceeds into what came next.

The details below are what I can share; the buyer's name and the deal terms stay confidential.
