In this episode I interview Ioana Surdu-Bob, Co-founder & CEO of Konvi, marketplace that allows anyone in the European Union to invest in exotic assets, such as watches, wines, whiskeys, bags, and cars.

Ioana has always been interested in investing, purchasing her first apartment at the age of 22 with her savings. With a background in computer science and a new found interest in collectibles, she and her co-founder decided to start Konvi.

Realizing the investment potential of luxury assets such as the Hermès Birkin bag, which has consistently outperformed other asset classes in the past years, the question arose: Why are these investment classes not yet available to the broader population.

As entry ticket prices for these items are very high, and production quantities are low, only the wealthy can source and access them. This is why Konvi was born. Konvi constantly connects with industry experts and luxury funds around the world to make these highly lucrative assets accessible to everyone through our Konvi platform.

Enjoy!
