A brief from the guy running the cohort.

Before you scroll the whole page or apply, hear it in his voice. Why he's doing this, who he wants in the room, and what changes for you if you get in.

01 / The Honest Part

You don't want this casually. You want it in your chest.

You wake up and dream of the day you see a million dollars in net worth.

You physically yearn for it. There's a catch in your throat when you think about hitting millionaire status.

If that's you, you're already a future millionaire. You're just not there yet. And it eats at you.

02 / What This Isn't · What This Is

You don't need another cheerleader. You need a team.

What You Don't Need

  • A coach telling you to work harder.
  • An inspirational speaker promising it'll all work out.
  • A guru selling you a mindset.
  • Hype.

What You Do Need

  • A team, captained by a strong quarterback.
  • A foundation built for your first million.
  • And your next.
  • And your next.

The work is yours. No one does it for you. The team makes it possible. Can compress the timeline. Shows up when you want to quit.

03 / Your Bench

You bring the drive.
We bring the bench.

You bring your situation, your drive, your talent, your dream. We bring the team that protects the foundation underneath it.

01 · Quarterback
A financial advisor who's hit their own first million.
Peer, not paternal. In the trenches with you, calling the plays. He remembers being broke and what got him out.
02 · The Map
A real plan, written down, that fits your actual life.
Not a generic worksheet. What to save, where, in what order, given the income you actually make and the obligations you actually have.
03 · The Pace
Monthly check-ins so it doesn't fall off.
The plan only works if it's running. We meet on a cadence that matches the season you're in. We adjust when life adjusts.
04 · The Specialists, As You Grow
CPA, attorney, risk pro, when the time comes.
You don't need a tax-planning CPA at $5,000 saved. You will at $250,000. The team scales with you, not the other way around.
04 / Your Quarterback

Dr. Adam Link, CFP®

Founder & Managing Director, Fireweed Capital. Calling the plays for the First Million Cohort.

Built
Four company exits, including an initial public offering.
Invested
Active angel investor across early-stage technology.
Reached
Financial independence.
Previously
Senior Engineering Manager, Coinbase.
Education
BS Finance · MS Computer Science · Doctorate in Computer Science.
Designation
CFP® · Investment Adviser Representative under Portfolio Medics, LLC.
Author
Four books on investing & personal finance, including Index and Regret and Why Real Estate Sucks.

Dr. Link grew up in Minnesota. He worked hard in school and started side-hustles throughout his time in school. He started with one burning question, "how did successful people become successful?" Then he found his own path to the answer.

He spent his career as a software engineering leader, most recently a Senior Engineering Manager at Coinbase, while building, investing, and exiting businesses on the side. By the time he reached financial independence, he'd been part of four company exits (one of them an IPO).

He founded Fireweed Capital while still at Coinbase, then transitioned to running it full-time. The thesis was simple: regular people deserve the same financial advice that wealthy people pay a fortune for. Not someone teaching accumulation from theory.

He's the author of four books on investing and personal finance, and the quarterback you get in the First Million Cohort.

05 / The Deal
We can't swing the sword for you. But we'll make sure it's the sharpest one on the field.
And we'll be the team standing behind you while you swing it.
06 / The Playbook

We're not guessing. We're running a playbook.

This is the playbook I lived myself. Going from future millionaire to financially independent. Disciplined planning. Tax coordination. Risk management. Clean legal structure. We're running it with you because the framework is sound.

The honest fine print: No guarantee it works for you. No guarantee you make a million. You have to do the work. What we promise is the boost: a strong foundation, strong advice, a strong bench, and people who've actually done this. The rest is on you. Exactly how it should be.
07 / The Call

Stop being a future millionaire.
Start becoming an actual one.

The call is $1 to hold the slot. Not because of the money. My calendar holds about four selection calls a week, and more than four people raise a hand. The $1 just sorts the people who'll actually show up from the people clicking around.

If I tell you on the call that we're not a fit, the $1 comes right back. You literally can't lose a dollar here.

Answer the five questions below, pick a 30-minute slot, and we'll talk.

30 minutes with Dr. Adam Link. The $1 comes off your card at booking. If we don't fit, you get it back. Either way, you walk away with a clearer picture of your next move.

08 / The Program

What you actually get.

A walk-through of the cohort: what's included, what you walk away with, who it's built for.
Format
1:1 time with your quarterback, a CFP® who's done it himself.
Duration
A decade. We're not in this for one quarter, we're in this for your first million.
Cadence
Monthly check-ins. Plus the unscheduled moments where you actually need someone, like a job offer, a windfall, a panic.
Specialists
You don't need a tax-planning CPA at $5,000 saved. When you grow into needing one, you get one through the network.
What You Walk Away With
A written plan that fits the income you actually make. A monthly partner. A clear next move every time you finish a call.
Cost
$1 to book the selection call (refundable on no-fit). Cohort fees scale with your situation, we'll talk through them on the call. No income or asset minimum to apply.
Cohort Size
Two people per month. 24 people max per year.
Selection
By application. Mutual fit. We're picking you. You're picking us.

Who This Is For

  • People who can save something every month, even if it's $50.
  • People starting from $0 saved who are ready to stop starting over.
  • People in their 20s, 30s, 40s working a regular job and feeling the yearning to be more.
  • People who don't have an advisor yet because they "don't have enough" — that's exactly who this is built for.
  • Couples and parents trying to build something that lasts past them.

Who This Isn't For

  • People looking for someone to motivate them.
  • People who want a guarantee.
  • People who'd rather talk about wealth than build it.
  • People who refuse to save anything until they make more money.
  • People expecting a quick fix instead of patient, disciplined work over years.

09 / From Adam · Straight Up

So... what's the catch?

FromAdam Link ReWhy I'm Doing This

Here's the part most advisors won't tell you.

You don't have enough money for me to make money on you today. I know that. I'm not pretending otherwise.

If you have $1,000 saved and a real advisor charges you 1% a year, that's $10. It doesn't pay for a single one of our calls. The math is bad for me, today.

So why am I doing this?

Because I believe in helping others. The character of a person can be determined by what they do when they reach the top. I turned around and want to help the next person up the mountain. You're that next person.

I'm playing a long game. If I help you go from $1,000 to $1,000,000 over the next decade, you and I have built something real together. And when you have a million dollars, you're going to want it managed properly. I want you to remember who showed up when you had a thousand.

That's the catch. I'm betting on you. I'm betting that in ten years you'll have wealth to manage, and you'll let me be the one to manage it. If that math works for you, it works for me.

The $1 to book the call protects my calendar from people who won't show up. Nothing more. If we're not a fit, you get it back. If we are, we keep going.

If you don't believe you can get there from where you are now, this isn't your program yet. If you do, let's go. Take the call.
Adam.
Former future millionaire.

No Outcome Guarantees · Forward-Looking Statements No statement on this page constitutes a guarantee, projection, or promise of any specific financial outcome, including the achievement of any net-worth milestone, investment return, tax savings, or timeline. References to becoming a millionaire, building wealth, compounding, compressing timelines, achieving financial independence, "going after a million," sharpening outcomes, or similar concepts are aspirational and educational. Individual results depend on individual circumstances, market conditions, and factors outside of Fireweed Capital's control. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
No Client Testimonials Or Endorsements References on this page to "a playbook," "the framework," or similar phrasing describe general planning concepts and methodologies. They do not reference, describe, or attribute outcomes to any specific Fireweed Capital client or advisory engagement. No client testimonials or endorsements are presented on this page. Comparative or superlative language (such as references to a "sharpest sword," "strongest foundation," or "the bench") is metaphorical brand language and is not a representation of comparative advisory results.
Personal Biographical Statements References to Dr. Adam Link's personal financial history (including business exits, an initial public offering, angel investments, the achievement of financial independence, and references to going from "future millionaire to financially independent") are biographical statements describing his personal career and financial situation. They are not representations of investment performance achieved on behalf of advisory clients and should not be interpreted as indicative of results that clients can expect from advisory services provided by Fireweed Capital or Portfolio Medics. Each person's financial situation, capital, risk tolerance, and circumstances are different.
Coordinated Specialists · Not An Integrated Firm The "team" and "bench" described on this page (including references to a CPA partner team, an insurance/risk specialist partner, and a partner attorney) refers to independent professionals who may be coordinated by Fireweed Capital in connection with the program. These specialists are not employees, affiliates, or representatives of Fireweed Capital, LLC or Portfolio Medics, LLC. Engagements with these professionals are separate engagements directly between you and the professional. Fees, terms, and scope of work with any such professional are determined directly between you and that professional.
Material Conflicts Of Interest Fireweed Capital is compensated by clients for advisory services, generally as a percentage of assets under management and/or via flat planning fees, as disclosed in Form ADV Part 2A. As a result, the firm and Dr. Adam Link have a financial incentive in clients accumulating, transferring, and retaining assets under the firm's management. This conflict is acknowledged on this page (see §09, "From Adam") and is disclosed in Form ADV. Operating as a fee-based registered investment adviser reduces, but does not eliminate, all conflicts of interest. Other potential conflicts include scope expansion across services, retention of clients as assets grow, and selection among recommended professional partners.
The First Million Cohort Program The First Million Cohort is an educational and advisory program offered by Fireweed Capital. The $1 commitment fee charged at booking holds a selection-call slot and is refunded if Fireweed Capital declines to extend a cohort invitation following the call. Submitting the qualifier form and booking a selection call do not create a client, advisory, or fiduciary relationship. Selection is based on mutual fit; acceptance is not guaranteed and is at Fireweed Capital's discretion. Program structure, fees, duration, deliverables, and any associated advisory engagement are described in the engagement agreement provided upon acceptance. Specific program details displayed on this page (such as duration, cadence, cost, and cohort size) are subject to confirmation; final program terms are governed by the engagement agreement, not by this marketing page.
