Welcome to the Escape Velocity Investor!

Professional Level Insights for DIY Investors

Look around and you’ll notice the world is rapidly changing.

AI, crypto, robotics, prediction markets, self-driving cars, space exploration, geopolitics—wherever you look, disruption is accelerating.

And financial markets feel noisier than ever.

Every day brings a new narrative, a new “must-own” asset.

Financial media rewards hype and drama. Most investing content is optimized for attention, not for good decision-making.

The result?

More information than ever, less clarity than ever.

That’s the gap Escape Velocity Investor exists to fill.

Today, we’re launching a premium investing publication built for serious DIY investors who want high-quality, actionable market insights without the noise.

Who Are We?

Escape Velocity Investor is written by investors who’ve actually lived through market cycles, built capital in multiple regimes, and adapted as the world changed.

Chris Dunn

Founder of Wealth Incubator & Pioneer in Bitcoin Education

In 2013, as Wall Street’s algorithms were steadily pushing independent traders out of traditional markets, Chris saw two things clearly:

  • First, the game was becoming structurally stacked against individual traders.

  • Second, a new financial system was quietly emerging.

While most dismissed Bitcoin as a curiosity or a scam, Chris recognized it as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change finance.

He went all in early: writing How to Trade Bitcoin for Serious Profit, touring internationally as a speaker, and educating millions through YouTube, blogs, and podcasts at a time when credible crypto education barely existed.

More than a decade later, Chris remains at the frontier, actively investing and hunting for asymmetric opportunities.

At Escape Velocity Investor, Chris brings deep crypto-market intuition, early-cycle pattern recognition, and hard-earned lessons from navigating extreme volatility long before it became fashionable.

Travis Devitt

Former Hedge Fund Investor & Stock Market Mentor

As a former partner at an elite hedge fund, Travis helped scale assets under management to over $1 billion, operating inside the world most individual investors never get to see.

After his hedge fund career Travis transitioned into the startup world, helping grow a venture-backed company to a $100+ million valuation—giving him a rare perspective across both public and private markets.

Think of Travis as your financial translator. He breaks down professional-grade analysis into clear insights, helping individual investors think like institutions while moving with the flexibility & speed that big funds simply can’t.

At Escape Velocity Investor, Travis focuses on stocks, macro, and portfolio management across market cycles.

What Is Escape Velocity Investor?

At its core, Escape Velocity Investor is about helping you separate signal from noise so you can build a portfolio capable of achieving financial escape velocity.

Here’s what makes it different:

Professional-grade insights across asset classes

Most individual investors never get exposure to professional investors who worked at multibillion dollar hedge funds or who were early participants in entirely new asset classes.

Escape Velocity Investor changes that.

It combines expertise across both stocks and crypto, as well as deep knowledge of BOTH fundamentals and technicals.

Stocks, crypto, options, futures, perps, bonds, memecoins, private startups—if it exists, we’ve probably traded it.

Our hard-earned experience becomes your unfair advantage.

High-conviction ideas, clearly explained

Your time is valuable and so is ours.

You won’t find AI slop or recycled narratives here.

We cut through noise to uncover the emerging trends before they’re consensus.

We find the assets and setups that have asymmetric potential and deliver them with clear explanations of why something really matters.

A survive-and-thrive mindset

Building wealth isn’t just about swinging for the fences—it’s about staying in the game.

We actively highlight:

  • Market risks and regime shifts

  • Major changes in sentiment & momentum

  • Data points that matter for managing downside

  • Position sizing & portfolio management strategies

No investor has a 100% win rate. We don’t pretend risk doesn’t exist.

Our aim is to help you survive volatility and compound over the long haul.

What to Expect

No fear-mongering.

No paid promotions.

No BS.

Just clear, honest investing insights for investors who want to understand what’s actually happening in real time.

Subscribers can expect a few high-quality posts each month, which may include:

  • Stock or crypto investment ideas

  • Market structure breakdowns

  • Deep dives on emerging themes or sectors

  • Macro & liquidity insights

  • Assets & charts to watch

  • Portfolio strategies

We publish more when markets are active and less when they’re not. We respect your attention.

This is not for investors who want to be spoon-fed trades.

It’s not for YOLO speculation or overnight riches.

It IS for investors who want a serious resource for ideas and savvy market research.

If that sounds like you, Escape Velocity Investor is now live and we’re excited to help you accelerate toward financial freedom!
