Members of the club contact each other directly on the platform provided by the firm. They invest, negotiate and engage in the search for solutions to problems of our society. «It’s sort of like a digital Davos or Aspen Institute, online 24/7, 365,» Lipton explained.
Diverse Members
The twelve members of staff in New York have been busy recruiting members for half year. The prospective clients are leaders in finance and business, as well as from the arts, philanthropy and media: «Membership is quite diverse and currently includes major Asian families, entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley, hedge fund managers and bitcoin pioneers.»
«Switzerland is an important market for us, and we have a growing number of Swiss members in the club,» Lipton said.
Smart Communities
This isn't verifiable, of course, because Clade doesn’t disclose the number of users, their identity or background. But Lipton and co-founder Jan Oliver Koelble are quite happy to limit the membership.
The CEO believes that his firm is essentially what the future will hold in store: «The future of finance is being built around smart, global communities,» he told finews.com.
