“Semper fi” (always faithful) is the motto of the U.S. Marine Corps, God love ’em. But part of the legendary Corps attitude is another term that entrepreneurs could/should embrace, too: Gung ho.

The dictionary defines “gung ho” as “extremely excited and enthusiastic about doing something.”

And USMC vet Nick Bradfield, the founder/CEO of fintech startup Divvy Investments, demonstrated that attitude on Friday.

Just minutes after the Council for Entrepreneurial Development and WRAL TechWire announced a partnership through which WTW would provide Q&A profiles of the companies selected for the CED Tech Venture Conference next month, Bradfield sent in his information, picture, logo and business details.

He was first.

Therefore, Divvy Investments leads off our Q&A profile series today.

A lot of startups have already responded. Presenting firms were sent invitations last week by the CED. Don’t miss your opportunity, entrepreneurs. Send your information ASAP.

(WTW has already published the full list of presenting firms.)

Meet Nick Padfield

“My goal is to help investors make better decisions with money by simplifying their investment strategy, saving them time and money along the way,” Bradfield writes in his LinkedIn profile.

He brings to Divvy a financial services background of some 15 years, having worked at Edward Jones and Grant Thornton.

And as he notes at LinkedIn, Bradfield believes Divvy can help customers take the right “fork” when it comes to investment decisions.

“Yogi Berra once said, ‘If you come to a fork in the road, take it.”‘ What does a confusing quote from a baseball legend have to do with investing?” he writes.

“As an avid Yankees fan and a 15-year veteran in business development within the financial services and technology industries, I’ve seen people (and baseball teams) come to forks in the road constantly. And much like the ramblings of the Yankee great, sometimes the options leave them scratching their heads in confusion.”

His focus is do-it-yourself (DIY) investors.

“Many people try to be DIY investors but end up experiencing information overload which causes paralysis by analysis and ultimately emotional investing,” he explains.

“Divvy Investments helps simplify the process by preventing information overload and taking emotion out of the equation.”
