About The Event
We hope you can join us for a truly unique event on Thursday, June 17th from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm with Yoni Assia, Co-founder & CEO of eToro, and learn about his fascinating journey from the creation of a disruptive social investment platform to embarking on a new journey to take eToro public via a Special Purpose Acquisition Vehicle (SPAC) with an estimated equity value of $10.4bn.
In 2020, Yoni was named as one of the TOP 40 under 40 globally by Fortune Magazine.
Yoni will discuss with Shalini Khemka, Founder and Chief Executive E2E, his lifetime interest in computing and investment, the challenges he faced in scaling up a large and technically complex business, as well as the routes he considered in the decision to take eToro public.
Yoni Assia co-founded eToro in 2007 with his brother Ronen Assia and David Ring with the vision of opening-up the global financial markets so that everyone could trade and invest in a simple and transparent way.
Today, eToro is one of the world’s leading social investment platforms, with over 20 million registered users globally.
In March of this year, eToro announced plans to enter a business combination agreement with Fintech Acquisition Corp V (FTCV). The company has an implied estimated equity value of $10.4bn.
The event will include an interview and live Q&A.
