Show Notes

Altvest has garnered a lot of attention in a short space of time. This financial services group is building in public, which is a very difficult thing to do as start-up losses are scrutinised by the market and pivots are a matter of public discussion rather than private decisions in a boardroom.

With a controversial approach at times to its public persona, much of the Altvest story has been lost in the noise.

Warren Wheatley approached me for a fireside chat to dig into the vision at Altvest and to address some of the historical matters on social media.

This is a raw, unedited discussion that lasted just over an hour. If you want to understand a lot more about the Altvest business and the challenges of building in public, this is for you.

Note:

An appearance on the Ghost Stories podcast is never an endorsement by me of a company's investment case, business model or share price. Always do your own research and arrive at your own decision. At the time of the release of this podcast, I do not currently own shares in Altvest or any related entity.
