Our Journey Through Time

From a simple idea in 2019 to Australia's trusted investment education platform - discover how we've grown alongside thousands of learners building their financial confidence

2019 - The Beginning

Where It All Started

It was during a particularly volatile market period in late 2018 when Sarah Chen noticed something troubling. Friends, colleagues, and family members were making investment decisions based on social media tips and overnight success stories they'd heard about cryptocurrency and stock trading.

After watching too many people lose money they couldn't afford to lose, Sarah decided there had to be a better way. She spent months researching educational approaches, talking to financial advisors, and understanding what regular Australians actually needed to know about investing.

"People don't need another get-rich-quick scheme. They need genuine education that helps them understand risk, research companies properly, and make decisions they can sleep well with at night."

— Sarah Chen, Founder

hydranovelsiq launched in March 2019 with just twelve students and a simple mission: teach investment fundamentals without the hype, helping people build genuine confidence through knowledge rather than promises of quick returns.
