Welcome to the PrimaryBid Tech Blog: Bringing You the Latest in Fintech Innovation
Welcome, developers, tech enthusiasts, and curious minds, to our exciting not-just-another-tech-blog! We are thrilled to embark on this journey of exploring the ever-evolving world of technology and sharing expert knowledge, practical insights, and thought-provoking discussions with all of you.
Whether you’re an experienced fintech professional, a newbie software developer, a CTO, or simply someone looking to stay up-to-date with the latest technology trends, this blog is the place to be.
First of all, who are we and what do we do? PrimaryBid builds the technology, partnerships and advocacy to make retail investor inclusion in the capital markets a reality. What does this mean in practice? We’re building a platform that allows individuals to participate alongside the much larger institutional investors in transactions like IPOs and other fundraises from which retail investors have typically been excluded.
Investing in securities involves risk.
