In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, I sit down with Joris Delanoue, co-founder and CEO of Fairmint. We dig into how Fairmint evolved from a VC capital-raising platform into a pioneer in blockchain-based equity tokenization.
Joris breaks down the Open Cap Table Protocol (OCP), how startups can issue shares directly on-chain, and why this could reshape the $6 trillion private securities market. We also explore the future of regulated DeFi, the role of big players like BlackRock in asset tokenization, and why compliance and investor protection are absolutely key in this next wave.
If you’re into startup growth strategies, scaling with compliance, and the future of blockchain + equity, this conversation is for you.
