Co-founding Captiv was the best decision I made during my academic career. Not only did Captiv help me improve my soft skills, but it also accelerated my professional development. Moreover, Captiv is not merely a group of ambitious students with a similar mindset but also a group of close friends. This results in a very supportive atmosphere in which the members can easily ask for guidance or support. If you are willing tot kickstart your career in finance in a fun yet professional environment, you will not regret joining Captiv.

Being a part of our student investment organization from 2020 to 2023 has been an incredibly rewarding journey. Co-founding the group in 2020 gave me the opportunity to cultivate leadership skills, from recruiting talented and passionate members to planning engaging workshops and initiatives that helped us grow year after year. This experience honed my organizational and teamwork abilities as I worked alongside a motivated group of students to build something meaningful. We didn't just focus on investments; we shared knowledge, encouraged personal development, and created a thriving community where ideas and strategies were exchanged freely. Beyond the professional and technical skills, the best takeaway has been the friendships formed along the way. We've grown into a close-knit group of friends who continue to support each other, both professionally and personally. Joining our organization isn't just about learning how to invest—it's about building connections that last a lifetime.

I'll cut right to the chase: if you're passionate about finance, entrepreneurship, and you like surrounding yourself with motivated, ambitious peers, Captiv is for you. Joining this investment circle was one of the highlights of my student life in Leuven. Surrounded by driven students from different fields of study, Captiv extends your curiosity and exposes you to many interesting financial companies. If you're ready to grow—both personally and professionally—this is the place to start. Don't hesitate. Captiv isn't just an opportunity; it's a career-defining experience.
