So, you know, this is 2016, 2017, like people wanted to be an investor.
They wanted to feel like that's an ambition, you know, it's something,
they wanted, but they felt like they couldn't because of three key things.
They felt priced out, that you needed to have heaps of money or needed to invest, you know, heaps of money and even to just get started.
Jargoned out, like there's so much jargon in the finance world.
It felt like, oh, I need to know heaps.
I needed a degree in that to even, you know, get started.
And
nobody really speaks in everyday language.
It didn't feel like that anyway.
And then left out that the financial institutions were for the wealthy few or the information wasn't well spread.
And so a lot of people felt left out of even being able to be an investor.
And so we, from all of that research, we got even stronger around our ethos of that everyone deserves an equal opportunity to grow their wealth.
And that really fueled us to kickstart Sharesies.
And from that, we kicked into it.
And then launched Sharesies in May 2017.
And from six of us starting it to now a team of 130 of us who, and we now have over 340,000 investors on our platform who have invested over a billion dollars.
And we've removed that price barrier.
So that's why we've really made sure we've brought that innovation where the minimum investment is one cent.
So in anything you invest in to make sure that it really, really is accessible in that way.
