101: Ken Nguyen, Co-Founder & CEO of Republic
Manage episode 299077681 series 2911596
The world of private fundraising is going through a generational moment - meme stocks, NFTs and Robinhood.
Everybody is looking to become an investor and with the right reason - the vast majority of wealth creation in the world has come from private assets, not public assets.
The challenge historically, though, has been a lack of connectivity and access for the private investor. Private investors couldn't get involved, and the operational complexity for companies to take advantage of this investor base was too difficult up until now.
Enter Republic: an equity crowdfunding platform that's raised over 50 million dollars in venture capital to take on the status quo.
This week, we chatted with Ken Nguyen, Co-Founder & CEO of Republic, to get his perspective on the business and the future of fundraising.
