In episode 254 we welcome our guest, Ken Nguyen, co-founder and CEO of Republic. In today\u2019s episode, we\u2019re talking startups, and how to make private investing widespread and available to everyone.\nTraditionally, investment minimums have been high, but in grappling with their mission to bring startup investing to the masses, Republic has brought investment minimums down to twenty and even ten dollars in some cases. We get into Republic\u2019s investor friendly model, and some of the advantages companies may gain from fund-raising on the platform.\nWe cover some background on laws that shaped who can invest in private companies and discuss recent developments that have brought about some welcome change to accredited investor rules. As we wind down, you definitely don\u2019t want to miss the innovative approach Republic has taken to offer yet another iteration on startup investing through the Republic Note.\nAll this and more in episode 254 with Republic\u2019s Ken Nguyen.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
