If you're a novice retail investor (accredited or non-accredited) and you're wondering why you don't have access to quality deal flow, it's because issuers know that professional investors HAVE to put money to work so they are typically the targets for the good deals. Think of retail investors like hobbyist and professional investors like, well, professional investors. If you were spending money and soliciting investors, which one would you target? So, if you want to get rid of that "retail investor" label and get access to the quality deals, start making more bets, get involved in angel groups, join syndicates and show that you are comfortable putting money to work even if it's only small amounts but at high volume.

From a PowerPoint presentation to where we are today in under 2 years is an amazing achievement. My personal thanks to all our intermediary partners, investment banks and issuers for choosing our technology to deliver fairer outcomes for retail investors #Caitalraising #UKCapitalmarkets

⬆️⬇️Paytm Mall's journey has been nothing short of inspiring. But like all great stories, it too had its ups and downs. Their journey is a testament to the fact that hard work, determination, and a never-give-up attitude can take you places. But what truly sets them apart is their graceful acceptance of failure.

"Buying Discover would give Capital One, a credit-card lender with a market value of a little over $52 billion, a network that would vastly increase its power in the payments ecosystem. The all-stock deal could be announced Tuesday, according to people familiar with the matter. Discover has a market value of about $28 billion, and the takeover would be expected to value it at a premium to that.  Capital One is making a big bet at a booming time in the credit-card sector. More consumers are moving from paying with cash to cards as a result of generous rewards programs and the digitization of commerce—a transition that accelerated with the pandemic. A recent increase in credit-card-debt has provided a further boost to issuers. Card networks are critical to enabling transactions and setting fees that merchants pay when consumers shop with credit cards. Though much smaller than Visa and Mastercard, Discover is one of the few competitors to those companies in the U.S. and it is one of a small number of card issuers that also has a payments network." https://lnkd.in/gJpF4RuK
