Technical consultation on building Ethereum based investment management platform

I'm thinking about building a kind of crypto investing platform. The idea is anyone can deposit money into the system and have their funds allocated toward various investments by skilled investment managers -- basically like a hedge fund. The investment managers would vote on how the money is allocated, and their votes would be weighted by their historical performance.

I'd like to speak with someone for a few hours about how I might build such a system. I'm a professional web developer, but I know very little about building distributed apps or the blockchain. I'm not sure which technologies to use -- Ethereum and Solana both seem promising, for example.

First I have some basic questions: Does the idea sound feasible? Would it be hard to build? How would you build such a system?

Second, I'd like to get a bit more concrete. I'd like help building a very simple toy version of the idea that does the following:

  • allows one person (the investor) to deposit funds into a smart contract
  • allows another person to instruct the contract to buy some asset with those funds
  • allows the investor to liquidate (i.e. sell the asset) and withdraw funds back to their wallet

This job is just for help with the initial exploration of the idea. After it is done I will have a better idea of whether it makes sense for me to pursue the idea further.
