Format
60‑minute session — entirely open Q&A with Daniel Idźkowski, Sidepocket Founder & Lead Quant‑Investor



What to Expect

  • Portfolio‑level insights. Whether you’re curious about reducing drawdowns, interpreting Sharpe/Sortino ratios, or stress‑testing retirement allocations, this is your chance to speak directly with the person who built the engine.
  • Community feedback loop. We’ll also collect suggestions on features, metrics, and content you’d like to see inside the Sidepocket platform.

  • Investors already using Sidepocket who want deeper understanding of the models
  • DIY traders comparing quant tools and looking for clarity on risk management
  • Finance professionals, engineers, or data scientists with technical questions about strategy design
