🎓 Exciting Milestone Achieved! 🚀 I've successfully completed the "Introduction to Valuation with WACC" course. 📈💼 Diving into the world of valuation has been an enriching journey, and mastering the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is a game-changer in understanding how to assess a company's true worth. Looking forward to applying this knowledge in real-world scenarios and furthering my expertise in finance and valuation. 🌐💰

This was fun, as always! I learn allot at these LSN sessions. #VentureCapital #earlystage #AngelInvestor #Investing #KeiretsuCanada #Startup #Canada #OntarioAngels #NACOCanada #scaleup #familyoffice #entrepreneur #StartupVisa #TrendwellVentures

FIA Boca – Then and Now   Back at #FIABoca, FIA, Inc.'s annual Mecca for the global futures industry. It is very good to reconnect with friends and contacts from all around the world. The last time I attended predated the Covid era; it was still under the McKinsey banner (picture on the left). This year I am representing Boerse Stuttgart Group together with Joaquín Sastre Ibáñez (picture on the right). Comparing the two pictures: tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis.   Speaking of changing times: While many topics persisted on the Boca agenda (basically the usual suspects in the futures industry), there are also a number of new ones on top of mind of industry leaders. We are talking about, of course, geopolitical fragmentation and energy transition. But also about the ongoing rise of crypto and the growing importance of retail customers.   The latter two trends hold particular significance for Boerse Stuttgart Group. Firstly, we operate the largest crypto business of all European exchange groups. And secondly, we are the European exchange group with the strongest retail DNA. We stand for B2B2C in crypto and in classic capital markets – as the infrastructure partner of choice for European banks and brokers, which want to offer their clients secure and reliable access to cryptocurrencies and classic financial products, including innovative ones.   Kudos to Walt Lukken and his team for again organising a world-class conference.  

Cboe is at an “inflection point” in its growth, said David Howson, Global President of @CboeGlobalMarkets, in an interview with John Lothian News at FIA Boca 2024 as part of the Industry Leaders series sponsored by @Wedbush. #CboeGlobalMarkets #GlobalVision #GlobalTrading #VolatilityComplex #EquityTrading #GlobalDemand #MarketStructure #TransparentMarket #MarketAccess #RegulatoryLandscape

Last week I was invited to attend the inaugural FIBE conference and my major take aways are: 1. Hard work pays off. The team that organized the conference went above and beyond to make it a remarkable place to share knowledge, exchange thoughts and make new connections. 2. VC funding markets are best analyzed and looked at from multiple perspectives: Thats why I loved the composition of my panel, representing the later stage & PE perspective, early stage and founder/angel view on the market dynamics. 3. Balance time in front of the laptop with time in front of your customers and potential partners. Real relationships matter as much as focus on execution. Until next year!
