On episode 47, I talk with Nelson Chu of Percent. Percent was founded with the belief that investing in alternative investments should be more transparent, more accessible, and more liquid than ever before.
There has been an explosion of interest in alternative investments in the last few years as traditional assets, and low rates offered investors little upside.
Percent is helping make these assets more accessible to a larger population segment through innovative technology.
Nelson and I talk about his journey to percent from Wall Street, how they increase access and transparency to alternatives, the accredited investor rule, blockchain technology, and the web3 movement, building a culture for a growing team, raising capital, and much more.
