Building Financial Literacy Through Real Experience

We started asking questions about market patterns nobody else was willing to examine closely.

AppWiseGame began when two analysts got tired of seeing people make preventable investment mistakes. Our approach focuses on teaching practical analysis skills instead of promising quick returns.

Founded 2019

How We Actually Started

Back in early 2019, we were both working at separate financial firms in Buenos Aires. The thing that bothered us most? Clients kept making the same errors because nobody took time to explain the underlying mechanics.

So we started running weekend workshops. Just basic stuff at first—reading balance sheets, understanding market indicators, spotting common red flags. People showed up because they wanted to learn without the sales pitch attached.

By mid-2020, those workshops turned into structured programs. We moved to Neuquén and decided to focus specifically on investment education for the Argentina market. Not because we had some grand vision, but because people kept asking for more depth.

What Drives Our Teaching Approach

These aren't mission statement buzzwords. They're the guardrails we use when designing every program and analyzing every market trend.

Evidence Over Hype

We teach using actual market data and historical patterns, not theoretical best-case scenarios.

Honest Risk Assessment

Every strategy has downsides. We spend as much time on potential losses as we do on gains.

Context Matters

Argentina's economic environment requires specific knowledge. We don't import generic advice.

Long-Term Thinking

Quick wins make bad teachers. We focus on building skills that work across different market conditions.

The People Behind the Analysis

Small team, specific expertise. We've both spent years analyzing markets and teaching others to do the same.

Elisabet Thorvaldsen

Chief Investment Analyst

Spent twelve years analyzing emerging markets before moving into education. Started her career during the 2008 crisis, which taught her more about risk management than any textbook could. Now focuses on teaching pattern recognition in volatile environments.

Damian Kovalenko

Risk Assessment Specialist

Background in quantitative analysis and behavioral finance. Specialized in understanding why smart people make predictable mistakes under pressure. Designs our risk evaluation frameworks and stress-testing scenarios.

How We Structure Learning

Our process developed over six years of testing what actually helps people make better decisions.

Foundation Assessment

We start by identifying knowledge gaps. Most people overestimate their understanding of basic concepts, which leads to problems later.

Case Study Analysis

Students work through real historical scenarios—both successful strategies and notable failures. Learning what went wrong is often more valuable.

Strategy Development

Participants build their own analytical frameworks based on their risk tolerance and goals. No cookie-cutter approaches.

Ongoing Refinement

Markets change. We provide quarterly updates on current conditions and how to adjust analysis methods accordingly.
