Samson Williams is a senior economist at Milky Way Economy, anthropologist and co-host of The Space Economy. By the process of crowdfunding, Samson helps businesses and start-ups leverage RegCF ($5M) and RegA+ ($75M) capital raising to fuel growth in the space economy and other industries.
Samson is the author of the book: ‘Blockchain & The Space Economy’ and an adjunct professor at Columbia University in New York and UNH School of Law in blockchain, cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, crowdfunding, and all things FinTech.
In a laidback and chill conversation, we discuss the recent surge in retail investing from Reddit’s WallStreetBets and Samson provides some stories from his career in crowdfunding. Most notably, his fascination with the space economy and the economics surrounding the industry.
