In this episode Connor sits with Thomas Curry, founder of SOAR, to discuss how SOAR is rethinking crypto capital formation. They explore the platform's novel approach of using token issuance as senior debt to create clearer value claims while preserving founder autonomy. Thomas shares the inspiration behind SOAR, which aims to unify equity and tokens, addressing the lack of real economic rights for token holders. They also talk about SOAR's transparent and legally sound structure that provides intrinsic value to token holders, allowing seamless buybacks and further fundraising. The discussion further includes the vision for SOAR's platform, aiming to provide retail investors access to early-stage startups, the potential solutions it offers and the importance of effective investor relations (IR) in the crypto industry.
