This democratization has unlocked opportunities once exclusive to the top 1%. Now, anyone with an iPhone can invest in the next big thing like Uber. This partnership with DealMaker transcends mere capital—it's about empowering everyone to invest, enjoy the rewards, and actively shape the future of innovation,” says Genevieve Roch-Decter, CEO and Founder of GRIT Capital.
