Crypto isn't hardif you have a planand the right tools.

Crypto feels simple in hindsight and chaotic in real time. Alpha Factory gives you a calmer weekly routine for deciding what deserves attention, when risk is worth taking, and what to do next when the market gets emotional. Built in public by a 13-year veteran who publishes every trade - including losses.

Menno (Fomotion), founder of Alpha Factory

Menno van Ravels

Founder · In crypto since 2013

Built in public. Not sold with hype.

Menno has been in crypto since 2013, built an audience of 35K+ on YouTube without a single paid promotion, and publishes his decisions so members can inspect the process instead of taking blind calls.

“I stopped doing paid promotions because integrity and trust matter more than short-term money. Every position I take is logged publicly - the wins and the losses.”

How the system fits together

One workspace. Three decision layers.

My Alpha is the decision workspace. Risk Wave sets the context, Altcoin Rules grades the setup, DCA Planner maps the execution, and AI Copilot helps when you want a second brain before you act.

How it compares

What you actually get vs. the alternatives.

An honest look - including where competitors have deeper data.

Why this table matters

Glassnode is deeper if you want an institutional BTC or ETH data terminal. Alpha Factory is for retail investors who want one calmer workspace that turns context, setup quality, execution, and founder transparency into an actual decision. The price row is not a footnote - it is the whole point.

Common questions

Still have questions? These are the ones our members asked before joining.

Alpha Factory is a premium crypto investing education platform founded in 2025 by Menno, a crypto investor with 13+ years of personal trading experience and 36K YouTube subscribers. It provides AI-powered daily briefings, portfolio tracking tools, risk management frameworks like Altcoin Rules, DCA planning tools, and a community of serious investors. Every portfolio move is logged publicly for full transparency — wins and losses.

The free tier lets you explore Alpha Factory before paying. You get access to selected tools, public proof pages, limited AI usage, and sample content so you can see how the system works. When you want the full experience, you can upgrade directly to Premium.

YouTube is entertainment. Alpha Factory is a workspace. On YouTube, you watch someone talk about their trades. Here, you see every position in real time, build your own strategy with real tools, and get AI analysis trained on an actual methodology — not generic ChatGPT answers. It's the difference between watching cooking shows and having a kitchen.

No. The tools are designed to make complex decisions simple. The Altcoin Rules system tells you risk levels in plain language. The DCA Planner walks you through building a strategy step by step. And if you get stuck, Ask Menno AI is trained on Menno's methodology and gives you context, not generic answers. The only requirement is that you're willing to follow a process.

One bad emotional trade can cost you more than a year of membership. Alpha Factory gives you risk frameworks, AI analysis, portfolio tracking, and a community of serious investors — all designed to prevent exactly that. The yearly plan drops it to $33/month. But honestly, if the tools prevent even one panic sell or FOMO buy, it pays for itself ten times over.

Absolutely. No lock-in contracts. Cancel in 2 clicks and you'll retain access until the end of your billing period. There is also a 14-day money-back guarantee if Alpha Factory is not the right fit.

No. And I never will. Alpha Factory shows you exactly what I hold and why, gives you tools to evaluate risk, and helps you build your own strategy. But I'm not going to tell you 'buy this coin now.' The goal is to make you a better investor, not a better follower.

No. Alpha Factory provides educational content and insights for informational purposes only. Always do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
