<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even before the COVID-19 crisis, Reddit’s WallStreetBets channel was featured on the cover of Bloomberg BusinessWeek as an emerging market force. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since then, between the surge in signups for Robinhood and the wave of followers of Davey Day Trader Global Global, these day traders have taken an even bigger place in the conversation about the stock market. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While many finance professionals (and, most certainly, traditional financial media) have treated the movement with skepticism, paternalism or outright derision, Slow Ventures’ Jill Carlson has a very different view. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To Jill, this group represents a new wave of investors who are unwilling to wait for permission to play a game that has been largely closed off to most. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this conversation, Jill talks about why the Robinhood revolution is very, very real, and what opportunities for entrepreneurship and investing she sees in terms of financial education, new exchange tools and more. </span></p> <p><br /> <strong>Find our guest online:</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Website:</span> <a href= "http://jill-carlson.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">jill-carlson.com</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Twitter:</span> <a href= "https://twitter.com/jillruthcarlson"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">@jillruthcarlson</span></a></p>
