Dave Hendricks, Vertalo | Using blockchain technology to democratize investment

Some people say that the equity they get at a start-up is like playing the lottery. It’s very hard to predict how much that equity will one day be worth and to even know how much it’s worth today. 

Meet Dave Hendricks. He’s the CEO of Vertalo, a company that uses blockchain technology to bring transparency to private asset markets. This won’t just help employees understand how much they’re getting paid. It’ll help investors understand the risks and opportunities of investing in private assets. With information comes access. With that, Vertalo is massively broadening the investment opportunities the average person has access to.  

“It’s funny how hard it is to buy interests in private companies… we want to empower people to obtain and create wealth from owning ordinary businesses.”
