Dr. Prash P, CEO Caleb and Brown Dr. Prash is considered a thought leader in the philosophical and existential implications of this emerging technology and is a regular speaker at the industry conferences.
As the Founder & CEO of Caleb and Brown, he witnessed first-hand the seismic shift the financial world is seeing with the rise of cryptocurrencies. Dr. Prash watched early movers make huge profits whilst seasoned investors were locked out of the market due to limited access and high barriers to entry. Early on he recognized that not only were these roadblocks alienating a majority of investors from profiting from these emerging markets, but also preventing them from future proofing and diversifying their portfolios.
Caleb & Brown was named FinTech start-up of the year at the Stockbroker and Financial Advisers Association (SAFAA) conference 2018.
