Stock café — invest together with friends

A stock café (Swedish: aktiecafé) is when a few friends meet regularly, have coffee and talk stocks. You learn from each other, pitch companies you've found and maybe build a shared portfolio. It's the most fun way to become a better investor.

Why it's worth it

Get started in five steps

1. 1
   Find 3–6 people

   Friends, colleagues or family. Nobody needs to be an expert — curiosity is enough.

2. 2
   Book the first meeting

   A café, kitchen table or meeting room. Plan for 1.5 hours.

3. 3
   Create the group in Daunvest

   Invite with a link. Keep notes, decisions and the portfolio here between meetings.

4. 4
   Agree on the rules

   Use the Group agreement template: how much you save, how you decide, what happens if someone leaves.

5. 5
   Start pitching

   Each meeting 1–2 people present a stock. Use Scouting to find and prepare.

Roles that make it easy

The shared portfolio

Many stock cafés save into a shared portfolio, e.g. an ISK account at Avanza. One person owns the account and everyone deposits the same amount each month. Upload the transactions to Daunvest after each meeting so everyone sees the value with live prices — and how it's moved since last time.

How to make decisions

Vote after each pitch. Decide in advance how many yes votes are needed and how large a share a single stock may have. Write down why you bought — it's gold when you evaluate later.

Tips for the first meeting

• Keep it simple: an agenda, coffee and a short pitch is enough.
• There are no stupid questions. Whoever asks the most learns the most.
• Start with small amounts while you find your rhythm.
• Celebrate wins and learn from mistakes — together.
