FAQ
What exactly is the Vestpod bootcamp?
The bootcamp is a highly curated online gathering for women who want to get started managing their finances and build financial security over the long term.
I will help guide you through everything from managing your finances, budgeting, setting goals, money mindset, analysing your spending decisions, saving, pensions and taxes, as well as my favourite — building wealth over the long term through investing!
I will also answer your questions during the sessions and over the 6 weeks.
I am currently unable to afford a bootcamp. Do you provide scholarships?
We understand that financial constraints can often hinder personal and professional growth. That's why we now offer several scholarships for our bootcamp. We also acknowledge the financial difficulties that many individuals have encountered recently and firmly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enhance their money skills and build wealth. Please feel free to email us for more information.
🚨 What is the Vestpod bootcamp NOT?
We are not financial advisors: instead, we’re here to help you understand how money management works and to relay your options.
A bootcamp is not an online course but rather an interactive gathering: we like to keep it intimate and personal so that you don’t feel like you’re a part of a huge community. We pride ourselves on being judgment-free, inclusive, and fun!
What is the time commitment?
We will have three 1 hour 30 minute live Zoom sessions and three 1 hour pre-recorded videos, and you’ll need to roughly spend an hour a week for self-study. Sessions are recorded so don’t worry if you can’t make them all.
I can't join this cohort, will there be more?
There's likely to be another cohort following this one end-2023, and another one on investing.
Who is teaching this bootcamp?
Emilie Bellet, founder of Vestpod, designed this bootcamp from her experience running workshops for tens of thousands of women.
How much does it cost?
We have early birds tickets at £275, then price goes up to £325. Please let us know if you’d like to pay in 2 instalments. We will have a limited number of participants.
What will I gain from joining?
Knowledge, community, and financial confidence! We will be getting together via live group video calls with me and my money expert friends, and you’ll get Vestpod worksheets to help you through the process. You will also have access to the private community.
Who is this aimed at?
Everyone is welcome! This specific bootcamp is geared slightly more towards those just starting out and curious about money management and investing, and we are open to welcoming you whether you’re an employee, self-employed, business owner or not currently working.
What if I don’t like the bootcamp?
It happens! If you feel you didn’t get what you wanted after watching the live recordings and using the worksheets, we’ll give you a 100% refund a week after completing the bootcamp.

Your feedback on our previous courses
Enrica Dellapieta
"Vestpod’s bootcamp definitely changed my relationship with money…again!
I’ve been following Emilie and Vestpod for a while now. Our relationship with money is a journey and, although I did amazing improvements throughout the years, this bootcamp helped me even more to open my eyes towards money and what I should be doing with it.
I feel even more empowered after the course, I have new goals for the future and I learned more about pensions, my net worth, and investing. But mainly, how to love money more.
I highly recommend Emilie’s bootcamps and events to everyone!"
Catriona Clark
"I attended the first Vestpod Bootcamp course run by Emilie Bellet and it was nothing short of spectacular. This is the deep dive into personal financing that I've needed my whole life!
We looked at everything - starting with our personal relationship to money and how that came to be defined, then how to plan for our goals and the last few weeks of the course were much more practical looking at budgeting, investing and pension planning! One of the greatest takeaways was meeting such a diverse and wonderful group of women who all have come to this course with the same desire to learn how to manage our money better. We were able to form accountability groups during the course and I'm delighted to say that this has kept going beyond the last class of the course - we still check in on each other and keep up the motivation.
The environment that Emilie nurtured was full of support, encouragement and how to keep it fun! When Emilie next runs this course, my advice is to run not walk for a ticket as you will only benefit from doing the bootcamp, the advice and knowledge you gain will last a lifetime!"
Lara Sheldrake | Found & Flourish
“Attending anything run by Emilie is like gifting your future self. I always told myself “one day I’ll do that thing, save that money, invest in my pension” and thanks to Emilie I’m making positive steps towards my financial health today and can finally feel in control and confident about my financial future.
This bootcamp is just the ticket for anyone looking to take control of their finances and to actually achieving their goals with the help of some of the best in the industry.
Run, don’t walk!”
Thank you for your amazing feedback!
Let’s talk about money
What is Vestpod?
Vestpod is a thriving community with a mission to help people, and in particular women, achieve financial independence.
We talk openly about money, building sustainable financial habits, earning more and investing for the long term.
Women in the UK are paid just 90p for every £1 earned by a man, are more likely to take on caring roles and invest less. This takes a huge toll on women’s pensions, and the average woman retires with half as much in her pension pot as a man.
Together, we can help close the gender wealth gap.
