Xavier is equalising access to pre-IPO and pre-token markets with prePO.
After a stint living in Korea working as an experimental game developer, Xavier knew he needed to change profession as he was struggling to make a living. Fortunately at this point he was already using crypto zombies, which had a notification about a Bitcoin meet-up in Korea. Being interested in Bitcoin and Alt coins already, Xavier attended and the seed of working in crypto was planted.
Initially, Xavier came back to Australia to work as a Software Engineer at Canva, namely because he wanted access to the equity of the private company. It was at this moment he realised his friends and family were having similar issues; they all wanted to gain access to the upside of private companies prior to their IPO, however, there was not a widely available market. This lead him to found prePO, a decentralised pre-IPO and pre-token trading platform looking to democratise pre-public equity.
Along with Xavier's compelling story, he highlights the key features of his novel project, prePO, as well as sharing how you can get involved at the ground level.

Xavier tells his story in High Definition.
