Quotes

[04:18] - "The technology to improve the experience of helping service clients who have made private investments is so fragmented. At Mammoth, we understand the technology they use, the hurdles they face, and the fiduciary model. If we bring all that together and offer a better experience, we can provide tremendous value and clarity to something that's been rather opaque." ~ Steve Zuschin

[21:14] - "Twenty years ago, if you wanted to invest in large-cap equity in the United States, 70 or 80% were available on public markets. Today it's less than 10%. So, to have true diversification and to be invested in those markets, you have to go the private route." ~ Steve Zuschin

[23:56] - "The advisor-client relationship should be at the center of every financial decision today. At Mammoth Technology, we're designing a tool to sit at the crossroads of advice in private investing. And we believe that every interaction should build trust and create a delightful experience." ~ Steve Zuschin
