In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, I sit down with Joris Delanoue, co-founder and CEO of Fairmint. We dig into how Fairmint evolved from a VC capital-raising platform into a pioneer in blockchain-based equity tokenization.Joris breaks down the Open Cap Table Protocol (OCP), how startups can issue shares directly on-chain, and why this could reshape the $6 trillion private securities market. We also explore the future of regulated DeFi, the role of big players like BlackRock in asset tokenization, and why compliance and investor protection are absolutely key in this next wave.If you’re into startup growth strategies, scaling with compliance, and the future of blockchain + equity, this conversation is for you.📺 Explore our curated playlist THE CAPITAL PLAYBOOK HERE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTJlaeHk03J3Csa1jytu1X1JKyZ_6qTQb---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------🎯 Strategic Growth & Investment-Ready Opportunities with GrowNLearnGrowNLearn, led by Zorina Dimitrova, connects select VCs, Family Offices, and Strategic Investors with precisely matched, high-growth ventures across Europe and the U.S.We also support founders with strategic growth advisory—helping you transform your business model, increase valuation, and prepare for investment or exit.🎯 No random pitches.
