Thank you @SashaFintech for hosting me on the @twifintech podcast!

@SashaFintech was one of our earliest believers at @vinylequity and I was so excited to have the opportunity to do this with her.

Your company goes public. Getting your shares into a brokerage account could still take weeks.

@robschoder tells @sashafintech why transfer agents are such an expensive problem, even though most shareholders only deal with one once, and how @vinylequity is working to change that.

Also on This Week in Fintech, @bayareawriter unpacks how Vishal Garg regained control of Better's board after being removed as CEO, despite saying he doesn’t want the job back.

Found at my parents’ house.

In the time since this guacamole expired, their 5 kids all graduated college. They moved three times and had 6 grandchildren.

We have had 3 different US Presidents, missing the Bush Administration by 2 days.

We should all aspire to have the longevity and resilience of this guacamole.

Had fun speaking with @JillMalandrino on @TradeTalks last week about the IPO landscape and the evolution of the capital markets infrastructure stack to make it easier and more cost efficient for companies to go public.

There has never been a more favorable time to be building in this space - we're excited at @vinylequity to be playing a role in moving the industry forward and redefining the user experience of our public markets.

Thank you, @Nasdaq for the opportunity!

We just asked for a test transfer file from a competitor we just won business from to ensure they hadn’t changed their file format.

They offered to send them to us for $10,000 (!)

Legacy Transfer Agents won’t just nickel and dime you… they’ll extort you.

Don’t lock yourself into contracts with companies whose model is to take advantage of you. @vinylequity is the future of transfer agency. Shareholder and issuer friendly is the way.
