UC Berkeley alumni startup aims to open collectibles investing to all
Original: ‘The BlackRock of collectibles’: UC Berkeley alumni startup will open investment in trading cards, collectibles
A startup founded by UC Berkeley alumni is preparing to let everyday investors put money into trading cards and other collectibles, with its founders describing the ambition as building 'the BlackRock of collectibles'. The company would bring asset-management-style access to a market traditionally limited to specialist collectors and dealers, drawing comparisons to the passive-investment giant BlackRock.
Why now: The comparison to BlackRock and the opening of a niche collectibles market to ordinary investors makes the startup's model a talking point.
