Emma Torres

Emma Torres made her name finding tomorrow's giants while they're still small and scrappy. As a former venture capital associate, she developed a talent for spotting explosive growth potential in companies most Wall Street analysts ignore. Emma focuses on the Russell 2000 and recent IPOs, hunting for the next Amazon or Tesla before they become household names. She's particularly skilled at identifying secular trends early—she was writing about direct-to-consumer brands, fintech disruptors, and cybersecurity startups years before they went mainstream. Emma holds a BA in Economics from UCLA and built her investing philosophy studying Peter Lynch's approach to finding 'ten-baggers.' Her writing style is energetic and accessible, making small-cap investing approachable for retail investors while still providing depth for professionals. She's based in New York but her research takes her across the country, visiting company headquarters, attending investor days, and interviewing management teams. Emma's readers love her enthusiasm and her track record of uncovering hidden opportunities in overlooked corners of the market.
