Brooke Roberts is the Co-CEO & Co-Founder of Sharesies. Sharesies is an investment platform that is democratising financial investment by giving someone with $5 the same financial investment opportunity as someone who has $5 million. Sharesies won the 2021 Finder Investment Awards as the top share trading platform for beginners. Brooke and her Co-Founder, Sonya Williams won the NZ Women of Influence 2020. 

In this episode, you’ll hear Brooke smash some of the common myths that Founders are told about capital raising; how she and her 5 co-Founders created the vision and values that still drives Sharesies today as a $500m business and how she and her co-Founders managed the almost impossible: keep all shareholders on the same class of shares so that her early backers would not be diluted further.
