“In my work as a sell-side specialist, I noticed that investor interactions with mid-sized companies were inconsistent. Improving outreach was the only solution. I realized that the next big idea for the capital market stakeholders would be to digitize the entire market process and make it scalable, resulting in magnificent network growth. That is how the idea of ExchangeConnect was born,” Seth said.
