Since its inception in 2014, Rob Charles has quickly grown Goldfingr from a boutique investment club based in NYC to the international behemoth, with global acclaim, that it is today. Having won awards in Dubai, Malta, and New York for their network effect and the resources they make available to their members, Rob Charles and the Goldfingr team are committed to investing in individuals as much as they are committed to investing in cutting-edge technology.
From the beginning, Charles knew that the Goldfingr investment club could rise to great heights as long as he could find helpful and committed people to join the network. With an understanding that the value of an investment club, or any type of group, is more connected to the people in the network and less connected to the events and perks offered by the club.
This is precisely why Charles has been keen on making sure members are on the same page when it comes to their desire to help and educate entrepreneurs & investors as well as their ability to invest capital. Charles truly believes in the power of people and relationships; while technology becomes more sophisticated, our human capacity to connect and empower each other through relationships actually increases — if we focus on nurturing this sentiment, of course.
Rob Charles understands the necessity of having a strong network of individuals with different skills in one’s corner partially due to his long and successful career as an angel investor and entrepreneur as well as due to his life experiences. Laying roots in New York City in the 1990s, Charles saw how the city became the vibrant and multifaceted business, technological, artistic, and cultural hub that we all know the city to be. Charles understood that the ‘magic’ of New York City at that time was sparked by the deeply diverse group of individuals intermingling and collaborating at any given moment, from drag queens to private equity guys to avant-garde artists to construction workers to software engineers.
The energy of NYC in the 90s — arising from this group of individuals, from all walks of life, united by a vigor for living purposefully, finding meaning, and achieving dreams — is the exact energy Charles is channeling with the network at Goldfingr investment club.
It should come as no surprise that a man like Rob Charles would understand the need for a network of like-minded and helpful people with experience in a variety of industries as Charles, himself, has followed many paths in his life.
With over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience and over 18 years of angel investment experience, Charles has been involved in companies and endeavors, across the world, in the technology, cannabis, hemp, entertainment, real estate, oil, gas, commodities, heavy equipment, art, and M&A spaces. Charles also has done a great amount of work with philanthropic organizations around the globe as well. The founding of Goldfingr, and its modus operandi, is the culmination of Charles’s life of following his interests as well as capitalizing on market opportunities, all while maintaining his commitment to integrity.
Beyond his strong history helping a wide variety of companies grow to $25 million as well as to over $100 million from inception, Charles has also spent time as a young adult as a professional soccer player in Germany as well as won the North American WKA Light Middle Weight Championship, being ranked #2 in the world, for Thai Boxing as an adult.
Charles’s authentic life and professional experience, in a plethora of industries, uniquely qualify him to run an investment club focusing on how a network effect can help companies succeed and entrepreneurs learn. Now, Goldfingr has not only expanded from NYC to Dubai, London, Zurich, Singapore, Tel Aviv, Miami, San Juan, Tulum, and Malta, but the investment club also has an incredibly useful mobile app and a new crypto-token, both named ‘Goldfingr’ as well.
