Building Financial Clarity Since 2019
We started Korveth Wave because too many people approach investing with anxiety instead of understanding. Our focus has always been on developing genuine financial literacy—teaching people to think about money in ways that actually make sense for their lives.
How We Got Here
Back in 2019, I was working with a small group of friends who kept asking the same questions about investing. Not the complex stuff—just basic things like how to actually think about risk, or why certain financial decisions made sense for some people but not others.
What started as casual weekend conversations turned into something bigger. People wanted practical guidance that didn't assume they'd become day traders or financial experts. They just wanted to understand money better.
That's what Korveth Wave became. We focus on building investment mindsets rather than chasing returns. Because understanding how you think about money matters more than memorizing formulas.
What Guides Our Approach
We've built our teaching around three core ideas that emerged from working with hundreds of students over the years.
Context Over Rules
Financial advice that works for one person might be terrible for another. We teach students to evaluate their own situations rather than follow generic strategies. Your financial decisions should reflect your actual life, not someone else's blueprint.
Questions Before Answers
Most investment education rushes to solutions. We spend time on questions first—helping people understand what they're really trying to accomplish. When you know what you're asking, finding answers becomes much simpler.
Long-Term Thinking
Quick wins make great headlines but terrible education. We focus on building sustainable approaches that work across years and decades. Because financial success is measured in patience, not speed.
Six Years of Growth
Starting Small in Gent
Launched our first workshop series with twelve participants. We met in a borrowed office space every Saturday morning, working through basic investment concepts using real examples from Belgian markets. The informal setting let us experiment with different teaching methods.
Expanding Our Curriculum
Moved to a dedicated learning space on Universiteitstraat. Added behavioral finance modules after noticing students struggled more with psychological aspects than technical knowledge. Started recording sessions so people could review complex topics at their own pace.
Launching Webinar Platform
Introduced live online sessions to reach students across Belgium and beyond. The format changed how we taught—shorter, more focused modules that people could fit around work schedules. Interactive elements kept engagement high even through screens.
Refining Our Methods
Currently developing case-based learning modules that put students in realistic financial scenarios. We're also testing peer discussion formats where participants learn from each other's perspectives. The goal is making education more collaborative and less lecture-driven.
Who's Behind This
We're a small team with complementary backgrounds. What we share is curiosity about how people actually learn to handle money better.
Jasper Verhaegen
Spent eight years in portfolio management before realizing I preferred teaching over trading. Now I help people understand market behavior without getting overwhelmed by jargon. My background is useful, but listening to students teaches me more than any certification ever did.
Elina Kowalczyk
Came to finance education from behavioral psychology. I design our learning modules around how people actually absorb and retain information—not how we wish they did. Most financial mistakes are psychological, not mathematical, so that's where I focus our teaching efforts.

Our next series of workshops begins in September 2025. We keep groups small so everyone gets individual attention and space to ask questions that matter to them.
