    The Future of Social Investing with Anam Lakhani Co-CEO of Alinea Invest

    Thank you for tuning in to the sixth episode of Heading West, where we bring you to the frontier of capital markets and Web3. This is an exclusive interview with Anam Lakhani, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Alinea Invest. In this episode we discuss Anam's story as a female founder, the story of Alinea and how they are changing the way the next generation invests.  Alinea is an investing app for GenZs who want to understand the companies they are investing in. We explain how each company makes money, how they treat their stakeholders, and their environmental impact on the world so customers can buy stock in companies they believe in. Background - Founders Eve Halimi and Anam Lakhani, both 25, are debuting a new crypto investing platform today geared toward Gen Z women. The Y Combinator alumnae founded their startup, Alinea, as an investing offering a year ago, and are now adding crypto to its functionality through a partnership with fellow YC business Alpaca, a crypto brokerage platform. They see their company, which has raised $2.1 million in seed funding from investors Goodwater and Kima Ventures, as a competitor to Robinhood and SoFi—with a younger and more gender-diverse user base.

    Real Estate Ownership in Web3 & how BHR is Putting The World’s Real Estate Data On-Chain.

    Thank you for tuning in to the fifth episode of Heading West, where we bring you to the frontier of capital markets and Web3. This is an exclusive interview with Zach Gorman, Co-Founder of Blockchain Home Registry. In this episode we discuss the future of home ownership and how Blockchain Home Registry is putting real estate data on-chain.  Blockchain Home Registry is building a permanent, transferable, historical record of your home (like CARFAX® for your house). Companies know more about your home than you do, and make money off of your most significant asset. This needs to change, and it’s why we’re building BHR. If you own your home, you should own its data, too. Real estate is the largest asset class in the world, yet the industry is perpetually reticent to modernize. Web3 technology can establish trust and confidence throughout the real estate ecosystem by leveraging its open and immutable nature.
