Fresh from Google alerts. Good one Victor.

Our community has been a massive part of our success. Theyā€™ve been our biggest champions and continuously push us to build the right features and improve the product.

In a future world of many zero-fee providers, trust, transparency (particularly in Europe), and technology (the three Tā€™s as we dub them internally) will be the differentiating factors. Incumbents canā€™t take any of these factors for granted when it comes to millennials.

Another one, when youā€™re building a startup, itā€™s continuously shedding its skin and morphing into something thatā€™s not right for everyone. It seems to me that it was yesterday our whole company fit around a relatively small table at the Korean hotpot place next to our first office. But not everyone from the early team stays for the entire ride. If the startup is going places, its culture scales into a higher-performing one thatā€™s not a fit for everyone.

ā€œYouā€™re gonna see some stuff that hasnā€™t been seen anywhere else in the world in 2020,ā€ the CEO teased.

ā€œIt feels like validation,ā€ says Dodds. ā€œWhen I started Freetrade I felt a little out in the woods, this crazy Canadian in London saying this is gonna be huge, trust meā€¦ now a couple of years later, theyā€™re finally catching on.ā€

Sorry @adam because youā€™re Canadian I thought you said I started Freetrade in the woods :joy:

We have an exciting ā€˜pitch deck articleā€™ on Business Insider today [paywall]:

Only a few startups are interesting enough to have their pitch decks published by Business Insider, normally featuring much higher amounts such as European scooter company VOI that raises $85 million ā€œto take on Bird and Limeā€. Weā€™re proud they considered us interesting for this feature!

For our community members, hereā€™s the pitch deck in the Business Insider article:

Freetrade pitch deck (PDF)

Heads-up: itā€™s a shortened version of the Crowdcube deck.

Enjoy!

Mods please remove if this is not okay. I found searching for the first sentence.

Hot on Revolutā€™s tail however is another fast-rising star, Freetrade isnā€™t just building a unique free share trading platform, its entry is causing the entire industry to rethink their fee structures, which is why Freetrade is The One To Watch.

The One To Watch ā€“ Freetrade
