Kapitall_Logo

Calling all aspiring entrepreneurs, investors and gamers

When: Thursday November 19, 2009

Time: 12 PM (noon)

Where: Location Corrected: E51-345

Students, faculty and staff are invited to the public preview of Kapitall—a revolutionary new online investing platform designed to transform the investing experience for the next generation of investors.

Traditional financial sites make investing feel like a chore consisting of uninspiring or daunting tasks. Kapitall makes investing feel like something entirely different –a form of play—that speaks directly to the Gaming Generation and the way they prefer to engage, learn, and interact.

Kapitall’s team includes people with experience at companies like Apple, Bloomberg, Electronic Arts, Morgan Stanley, ShareBuilder and Pearson.

Join founders Gaspard de Dreuzy and David Neubert for an interactive presentation about the adventures of starting a company trying to create a Revolution in investing.
