Founders Friday with Kendrick Nguyen from Republic
Hey friends — happy NYC tech week.
This Founders Friday, you're invited to a small fireside chat with Kendrick Nguyen, co-founder & CEO of Republic.
Republic is a global financial firm at the frontier of democratizing access to the private markets. Republic operates a digital merchant bank servicing enterprises on tokenization and community activation solutions, alongside a first-in-class global marketplace on which both retail and high-net-worth investors can buy and trade private securities, directly and cross-bordered. Backed by Valor Equity Partners, Galaxy Interactive, Binance, Morgan Stanley and other leading institutions, Republic boasts a community of over 2.5M users across 100 countries, with offices in the US, the UK, Dubai, South Korea, and Singapore.
Prior to founding Republic in 2016, Kendrick was General Counsel of AngelList, Interim CEO of CoinList, and Vice President and Chief Counsel of The Permal Group. He served as Fellow of Stanford Law School and the Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University and is frequently consulted by the Staff of the US SEC, the US Congress, and the government of Vietnam on issues in the intersection of the private markets, blockchain, and retail participation.

So here’s what we know: every Friday @ 8:30am sharp we’re going to have an incredible founder who we chat with for ~20mins, followed by ~15mins of audience Q&A. We keep it tactical, honest, and interactive, so it feels a lot more like a conversation in a founder's living room than your typical gathering. Kept small by design.
Show flow:
8:30-8:50 | doors open & mingle
8:50-9:15 | moderated conversation
9:15-9:30 | founder crowd Q&A
9:30-9:35 | community (karma) asks
9:35-10:00 | hang around & meet other founders
@Free Agency, 16 W 22nd St, Floor 8
