Blossom Social

🌷 Last week, I had the incredible experience of attending Blossom Social's investor event in Toronto. Picture this: 600 investors and brand champions all under one roof. This is the true essence of community building. The standout panels at the event covered everything from real estate and AI to dividends, featuring some of North America's top investing influencers, including Braden Dennis, Daniel Pronk, Richard Coffin, CFA, CFP (aka The Plain Bagel ), Eric Pan (aka Ericnomics), Cody Yeh, Nathan Kennedy (aka New Money Nate Media), Adrian Bar (aka Canadian in a T-Shirt ), Shay Huang (aka The Humbled Trader), Joyee Yang, Navjot Bindra (Nav) (aka Grow with Nav Inc), and Matt Shoss. 📢 📖 It's one thing to see investor numbers tick up on a campaign page, but seeing this level of in-person support and endorsement is on another level. Hundreds of investors showing up to back a company and a founder they believe in—absolutely inspiring. The Blossom community is a melting pot of diversity, with people of all ages and backgrounds united by their passion for investing. The sense of kinship and community was truly tangible and serves as a compelling testament to the game-changing impact of equity crowdfunding. Not only does it empower local businesses, create jobs, and fortify communities, but it also champions diverse entrepreneurship and catalyzes innovation in our financial landscape. Hats off to Maxwell Nicholson and the outstanding team at Blossom Social on their well-deserved success! 🌼👏

🥳 AND THAT'S A WRAP!!! 🔥 On Tuesday we hosted the last event of our East Coast Investor Social Tour in Montreal and it was absolutely amazing... 😊 Unlike Toronto where I was zipping around organizing, in Montreal I had a chance to really relax and chat with some of the incredible members of the Blossom community. 🤩 I'm truly proud of how diverse the Blossom community is, with folks of all different ages and walks of life. I met people had just started investing, to folks who'd max'ed out their TFSA. People who were investors in Blossom and people who were hearing about the app for the first time. But with everyone sharing a common love and passion for investing, there was such an incredible and deep feeling of kinship and community with everyone I spoke to. 🌟 Special shout out to Kyle who drove 2 hours from Ottawa to be there with us, Mark who recognized me at the London Gatwick airport 🤣 and the over 150+ other folks who made it out!! 😅 While I'm SO happy to be off the road after a wild week of travel and events, I can't wait to meet more folks in Calgary and Vancouver in a few weeks!!

🥳 Our first Blossom event in the US was a huge hit!!! 🇺🇸 Before we launched in the US this January, we heard a lot of naysayers telling us that while we're doing well in Canada, we would struggle to replicate the same magic down south, but now - with over 30,000 US members and 50% of our new downloads coming from the US in just 6 months, the Blossom magic is undeniable 🔥 🤩 It was such a blast hosting over 100 folks from our US community in New York for another awesome evening of food, fun, and finance! 👏 Thank you to all the incredible folks and creators who came out to hang Vincent Chan, Seth Godwin, Eric Pan, Shay Huang, Angelo Castillo, Bilaal Dhalech, Tracy Ma, Matt Shoss, Adrian Bar, Brandon Beavis, Kirsten Lim, Kamil Rymarczuk Adriano Starinieri - you all rock and I had so much fun with you all at both the event and the post-event karaoke 😉 🔥 A big shout out to our sponsor KraneShares for supporting the event and your vote of confidence in our growing community!
