Castello

Hi everyone, my name is Zain Zaidi, I am the CEO and co-founder of TransCrypts, a blockchain-powered corporate data verification platform. We have successfully secured funding for TransCrypts from notable investors, including Mark Cuban, Protocol Labs, Underdog Labs, Global Millennial Capital, and Jenny Fielding’s The Fund, as well as several angels. Today I am excited to share with you all our new product, Castello. Every day, as an avid retail investor, I stand at the crossroads of ambition and reality, my heart delighted by a dream that seems as daunting as it is noble. My journey through the protected corridors of JP Morgan gave me a peek behind the curtain, revealing a world where the scales are tipped heavily in favor of the giants, their resources overflowing with data and research that the likes of everyday investors can scarcely dream of. It's this stark disparity that lights a fire in my soul, driving me to challenge the status quo. I envision a future where the playing field is not only leveled but where the barriers between the individual investor and the institutional goliaths are broken down brick by brick. My mission was not just to create a product but to accelerate a revolution, and craft a tool that empowers the masses, scares Wall Street, and reclaims the power that has been hoarded by the few. The vision of a world where knowledge and opportunity are shared, and the power is truly in the people's hands, fuels this resolution. Castello stands on the brink of change, daring to dream of a future where the financial giants no longer dictate the terms of our success.

Congrats on the launch! Is it designed to be user-friendly for the everyday investor? And with so many data platforms out there, what makes Castello the go-to choice for someone just stepping into the investing game?

Being someone that regularly trades and in business school this is something I use everyday. It saves me hours of research and analysis that I would have to scour the web and watch YouTube videos about. Financial analysis shouldn't be as complicated and confusing as it is, this makes it easy.

Congratulations on the launch @wajihkazmi 🎉

I'm eager to witness its evolution. Do you have plans to monetize it, and if so, what approach will you take?
