On episode 51, I talk with Henry Yoshida of Rocket Dollar. Rocket Dollar makes it easy to unlock retirement savings and helps everyone access savings to follow their dreams.
Through Rocket Dollar, savings can be used to fund a start-up, as a small business loan, peer-to-peer lending, buy real estate, and invest in cryptocurrency.
Alternative assets have skyrocketed in the last few years, with the previous 18 months seeing more significant interest than ever before.
Henry and I discuss some of the driving factors behind the alt boom, the definition of alternative investments, the language used to describe the accounts, why a simple fee structure works for the customers, raising capital, and a whole lot more.
