Calling all future millionaires.
You're already on the path. The team is what keeps you on it.
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.
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.
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.
Dr. Adam Link, CFP®
Founder & Managing Director, Fireweed Capital. Calling the plays for the First Million Cohort.

Dr. Link 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) and was an active angel investor in early-stage technology.
He founded Fireweed Capital while still at Coinbase, then transitioned to running it full-time. The thesis was simple: builders deserve a financial advisor who's actually built things. Not someone teaching accumulation from theory.
He's the author of four books on investing and personal finance.
He's the quarterback you get in the First Million Cohort.
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.
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.
Stop being a future millionaire.
Start becoming an actual one.
The First Million Cohort is selective. We take people who feel it in their chest, and are already moving on it. If that's you, send the application. It costs nothing to apply. It could be the thing that moves you from dreaming about being a millionaire to actually achieving that dream.
What you actually get.
- Format
- 1:1 time with your quarterback, a CFP who's done it before.
- Duration
- Two-month intensive. Then ongoing monitor, change, build.
- Cadence
- Eight weekly meetings. Foundational and intensive, designed to set you up as well as possible.
- Your Bench
- Financial advisor · CPA partner · Risk specialist · Estate & entity attorney.
- What You Walk Away With
- A personal financial plan. A tax projection. A risk audit. An entity & estate framework. A team that knows you.

Who This Is For

- HENRYs (high earners, not rich yet) building toward their first $1M.
- Real estate investors compounding into the next leg.
- Anyone who feels the yearning, and is already moving on it.
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 haven't yet hit positive cash flow to compound.
- People expecting a quick fix instead of disciplined work.
So... what's the catch?
I run a wealth management firm. The richer my clients get, the more money I make.
That's the whole catch. I'm not pretending otherwise.
I was a future millionaire once. I had four exits, one of them an IPO. I angel invested. I hit financial independence. I remember exactly what the yearning felt like: the catch in the throat, the way it eats at you. I know it because I lived it.
Now I want to turn around and help 1,000 more people get there.
There's a part of this that's genuinely altruistic. I love builders. I love people who dream big and actually do the work. I'd rather spend my career with people on the climb than anywhere else.
But I'm also running a business. Fireweed Capital is a real firm with real payroll. I get paid when my clients have wealth to manage. That's how a fee-based advisor works. That's how this program funds itself.
If you become a millionaire and stay a client, I make money on that for a long time. That aligns my incentives with yours about as cleanly as this industry allows. It's the same reason I picked this business model in the first place.
So yes, there's altruism. Yes, I love builders. No, this isn't charity. Yes, I get paid.
