Born out of a student-led initiative at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Ponos Capital was founded on the belief that true mastery of finance comes from relentless curiosity, creative thinking, and real-world application. Now as alumni, we continue to push beyond theory, transforming ideas into actionable strategies through disciplined analysis and bold innovation. Today, we publish market insights, model investments, analyze businesses, and build real portfolios—all grounded in discipline and creativity. Inspired by Ponos, the Greek personification of hard work and perseverance, we aim to build lasting value while embodying the spirit of resilience and excellence.
