History

Before the Institute.

The Institute's instruction began under an earlier name. Goat Academy was founded by Felix Nikolas Prehn as a community in which former Wall Street and City of London professionals gave instruction in how markets work.

The Prehn Institute now publishes research and continues that instruction with the same faculty. Goat Academy's pages lead to this site, and readers who arrive from them will find the same people teaching under the Institute's name.

Winston Daily, a personal financial newspaper app founded by Felix Nikolas Prehn, stands apart from the Institute and will remain so.
