How crowdfunding is reshaping VC & real-estate | Steven Maarbani

We discuss the evolution of crowdfunding, the VentureCrowd platform & how the digitisation of VC & Property may be the future of investing!
Murdoch Gatti

York Wealth Management


Steven Maarbani is the CEO and Co-founder of VentureCrowd. Steven shares the story of VentureCrowd’s evolution, beginning in 2013 as a venture capital-focused tool and expanding into a multi-asset investment platform. This transformation, supported by the 2017 legalization of crowdfunding in Australia, has opened access to traditionally restrictive deals—an approach that, according to Forbes, aligns with the changing investment preferences of younger generations.

Steven brings extensive experience as a corporate lawyer and former partner at PwC, where he guided founders, high-net-worth individuals, angel syndicates, and venture firms through the complex deal-making process.

Throughout the ROCast, Steven provides insights into how VentureCrowd is democratizing investment opportunities and reshaping private markets. We discuss the evolution of crowdfunding, the digitization of private capital, and how platforms like VentureCrowd are influencing the future of investing. Steven also highlights the importance of syndication, the growing role of secondary markets, and his vision for a more accessible and efficient investment landscape—making private markets more attainable and appealing to younger generations.
