Our Story

Building Confidence in

Financial Conversations

We started because we saw too many people struggle with money conversations. Not because they didn't understand numbers, but because negotiation felt overwhelming. So we built something different—a place where you learn practical skills through real scenarios, not theory.

How We Got Here

Back in 2021, we noticed a gap. People were taking courses on investing, budgeting, even tax strategy—but nobody was teaching them how to actually negotiate when it mattered most.

Salary discussions. Freelance rates. Business deals. These conversations shape your financial life more than any investment strategy, yet most people walk into them unprepared.

We built Antilix to change that. Our approach combines structured learning with live practice sessions where you can try different negotiation techniques in safe environments before using them in real situations.

What Drives Us

Real Practice

You learn by doing, not just watching. Every session includes scenarios based on actual negotiations our students have faced.

Flexible Learning

Choose group workshops for peer learning or private sessions when you need personalized guidance. Both work—it depends on what you need right now.

Proven Techniques

We teach methods that work across different types of financial conversations. The same framework applies whether you're discussing salary or closing a deal.

Ongoing Support

Learning doesn't stop after the session. Get access to follow-up materials and guidance as you apply what you've learned.

"Most people know what they want from a negotiation. They just need frameworks and practice to ask for it confidently. That's what we provide—the structure and repetition that turns uncomfortable conversations into manageable ones."

Why This Matters

The difference between getting what you're worth and settling for less often comes down to one conversation. Maybe it's asking for a raise. Maybe it's setting your rates as a consultant. Maybe it's negotiating equity in a partnership.

These moments happen whether you're ready or not. We help you be ready.
