For today’s episode, we look back at our conversation with Jenny Just and Matt Hulsizer at Apex’s Ascend Innovation Summit.
Jenny and Matt are co-founders of PEAK6 Investments. In 2012, they purchased the company that became Apex and helped shape it into the successful fintech company we know today. Oh and get this - they aren’t just partners in business, they’re also partners in LIFE. Married since 2003.
Over the years, they’ve built a shared vision that technology can make financial markets more accessible, more efficient, and more inclusive. That vision ultimately led to Apex.
We discuss the importance of risk taking, financial literacy, and partnerships when building businesses and trading.
