What to talk about

Five subjects he can speak to
without a briefing document.

01 Onchain equity How the shareholder register moves onchain, and what changes for issuers, investors and the institutions in between.
02 Tokenized securities What is real, what is not, and why the register — not the token — is the hard part.
03 Regulated infrastructure Working inside the rules: SEC registration, transfer agency, and writing to regulators rather than around them.
04 Internet-native capital markets Where private and public markets converge once ownership is one live record.
05 Building in the US A European founder’s view on incorporating, raising and scaling in the United States.
