Optimizing Portfolios for Global Economic Upheaval with Alexander Harmsen

Alexander Harmsen is Founder & CEO of Global Predictions. Global Predictions has created a wealth optimization platform to help make its users better investors. Alex leaned on his experience in both On Deck Founders and On Deck Investing to make the early product and has now grown a sophisticated Deep Tech company that has built a digital twin of the economy to make unbiased forecasts into the future using hyperconnected simulations, economic modeling, diverse data streams, and machine learning.

We chat about how this platform can add an extra layer of analysis to investment making decisions, in addition to understanding what millennials really want and how to challenge assumptions you may be making with some subconscious bias.

Alex also reflects on recent financial crises. Whether it’s the dot com bubble burst, the subprime mortgage crash, or the fallout from COVID, Alex emphasizes the learning opportunities that these moments provide.
