In-person event Today 🤝 Come to find out about the world's first startup IPO. 🕵️Right now, most of us are spectators, watching from the sidelines as the rich get richer and make money on the most promising startups. Think about it, Google, Amazon, and even On Shoes here in Zurich—they've changed industries and made enormous profits for their investors. But who really benefited? Predominantly the rich elite who had early access. This isn't just by accident. The system has been designed to keep the best startup opportunities out of reach behind two big barriers:    1) The need for vast networks to discover these startups, 2) Significant capital to invest. 🚀We are here to change the narrative, to ensure that the world of startups isn't an exclusive club but a thriving marketplace. https://lnkd.in/gTg22cUU
