When you can buy/sell 1/1,000 of a stock of Apple or 1/1,000 BTC in under 10 minutes on Robinhood -- why can you not do the same with individual pieces of real estate?

Greek fintech startup Woli also raised an early-stage round very recently for its family money app. In a true pay-it-forward fashion, it was great to see @vmtrok, Greek co-founder of fintech startup @withplum, take part in their round as an angel. https://t.co/2uuutC0RX3

[Eirini Malliaraki @irinimalliaraki]

Risk increasingly feels like an outdated frame to scaffold innovation and the future. We need to move away from actuarial to thriving and developmental futures. Thoughtful & excellent piece by @indy_johar

Πώς γεωπολιτική και πανδημία ανέτρεψαν την παγκοσμιοποίηση. Οι τεκτονικές αλλαγές στο ελεύθερο εμπόριο, στις εφοδιαστικές αλυσίδες και την οικονομική ανισότητα. Τι επίδραση θα έχουν όλα αυτά στη ζωή μας

Congrats to @wealthyhood_’s @alexandros_chr and @kostas_fal for becoming the first portfolio company of 🇬🇷 angel investment fund @genesisv2021. Surprised this was not a seed+ round, given that their personalized wealth-building app is kick-ass and has already great traction.
