“Investment and wealth management is broken. 99.5% of the population doesn’t have access to good fixed income products. Let’s use technology and data to change that”
Milind Mehere
Milind Mehere is the founder and CEO of YieldStreet which is an online marketplace for investing in alternative asset-based loans. 8-20% target returns. 1-3 year terms. Milind has worked for industry-defining companies and personally built and scaled three businesses, one of which, Yodle, was acquired by Web.com for $342 million in 2016. He is a successful tech entrepreneur who created investment opportunities outside the stock market with real collateral and attractive yields.
During the show, Milind explains how you can generate passive income by connecting to asset-based investments with strong returns.
