EBS Investment Club - Investing and Building a Startup with Lightyear’s CEO Martin Sokk
Thursday 2. October at 17:45 - 19:00
Estonian Business School, room 413, Tallinn
Hello, fellow investing enthusiasts!
The EBS Investment Club is back with another exciting event. This time we’ll dive into the world of investing, markets and entrepreneurship through the unique perspective of Lightyear’s founder & CEO, Martin Sokk!
Martin Sokk is a lifelong product builder in the finance world. He was the first product person at Wise where he was responsible for building the company’s offering and performance. Martin began working with Lightyear’s CTO & Co-founder, Mihkel, on the idea for Lightyear in the summer of 2020. As regular investors themselves, they shared frustrations with having to use multiple platforms for different things to get the best outcomes, experiencing firsthand the high fees, sneaky hidden costs and the complicated nature of investing.
Martin will share his insights on the current market situation and what it looks like from Lightyear’s point of view. In addition, he’ll talk about his personal journey as an entrepreneur, from the birth of the Lightyear idea to the challenges of building a startup, raising capital, scaling the idea, and his role as a leader. Finally, Martin will also touch upon Lightyear’s future mission and vision for making investing simpler and more accessible.
After Martin’s talk, there will be an open Q&A session where you’ll have the chance to ask him your questions about investing, startups, and leadership.
