Who is Richard Toad? Trying to find his LinkedIn
Anyone? Saw his video. Just curious if anyone has a name, etc. thanks! He’s been helpful to me in my career moving from academics to ER to a HF

He is on here and pretty much every other financial forum/social media as dickthesellsider
Founding partner of Ribbit Capital
Think he stated that he doesn't plan on adding people to his personal linkedin unless he knew them outside of his social media career. You can likely just message him on any of the platforms he's on and he's likely to respond if you're nice.
Nah just trynna see his background
From my understanding (could be off) he had a couple of years of sell-side experience, went over to the buyside in a L/S role, got burnt out at some point and is now pursuing full time content creation. You could just ask him too.
Met him before. Tall Chinese guy - intense about investing, big cynic of sell-side research, and really funny, not surprised he grew this big as influencer (won't be surprised if he does stand-up in the future).
Maybe it's fate the buy-side didn't work out for him so he could find his true calling (not sure if he feels the same way.)
I’m asking what’s his name lol I saw he revealed his face
If he is not out there telling others what his name is, others aren't comfortable yapping about it. Take the hint. (Of course I know his name)
I'm sure by ID reveal, he plans to go on podcasts and stuff and give his name eventually.
I wonder if he understands Mandarin.
I found his LinkedIn profile. He spent 2 years as a sell-side associate after completing his MBA, followed by 1.5 years as an analyst at a start-up hedge fund.
I've listened to a lot of his videos and really appreciate his insights. He seems to be an excellent analyst: in terms of his passion, hard work, analytical skills, systems, and processes. He's well-connected and has strong mentors. Also, funny and likeable as someone mentioned above.
My question is: What does it take to succeed in this field? It seems his career as an analyst wasn't particularly successful—he ended up at a small start-up hedge fund that he didn’t enjoy working for. Eventually, he decided not to pursue a longer career in the industry and explored an FP&A route. If someone with his qualifications and skills couldn't succeed as an analyst, who can?
He’s a fine creator but nothing special so frankly trajectory makes sense. If you read his “deep dives” and know anything about the firms / strategies he analyzes, you’ll quickly realize most of the content isn’t super insightful, nuanced, or sometimes even fully accurate.
He’s not that insightful. He’s just the only one in the ER niche…
