Who we are

Meet the team behind QIN.

QIN is founded by, and integrates knowledge from, QUT Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF) students. Wanting to share their practical expertise on the Bloomberg Terminals with other students, the team built QIN as a place where beginners and advanced students can learn, use the lab, ask questions confidently, and keep building practical investing skills together.

Founders

Matthew Bloder & Juan Blason

Matthew Bloder and Juan Blason founded QIN to bridge the gap between financial theory and practical application. They established a club where students can confidently access Bloomberg terminals, ask questions openly, and build practical investing skills together.
