On January 15, Episode 9 of Go Fund Yourself delivered exactly what today’s startup culture craves: bold ideas, big personalities, and founders who are building the future in very different — but surprisingly complementary — ways.
In one corner: Liquid.io, a fintech-meets-real-estate platform using blockchain to open the doors of premium property investing to everyday investors. In the other, Ambigram is a design-forward lifestyle brand turning language, identity, and perspective into wearable art.
Two founders. Two wildly different paths. One shared stage, and a reminder that innovation doesn’t come in just one form.
Founder Mike Bitoni took the stage with a clear mission: simplify real estate investing without sacrificing credibility, compliance, or returns. Liquid.io isn’t about hype — it’s about infrastructure. By leveraging blockchain technology and remaining fully SEC-compliant, the platform is making institutional-grade real estate opportunities accessible in ways that were once reserved for insiders.
And the traction speaks volumes. Liquid has already facilitated $4.8 million in transactions, signaling serious momentum in a market hungry for transparency and efficiency.
What makes Liquid especially compelling is its diversified product suite, built to serve both investors and real estate operators with speed and flexibility.
In an era where fintech trust is everything, Liquid’s emphasis on compliance, risk management, and real-world use cases grounded the pitch in credibility, exactly what investors want to see when innovation meets money. To learn more about Liquid and investment opportunities, click here.
Then came Lee Brett — and a shift in energy that reminded everyone why Go Fund Yourself isn’t just about numbers.
Lee is the founder of Ambigram, a fashion and lifestyle brand built around one mesmerizing idea: words that read the same upside-down or backward. But Ambigram isn’t just clever typography — it’s wearable philosophy. Each design challenges perception, identity, and the way we see ourselves and others.
Lee’s journey hasn’t been easy. From trademark battles to moments where belief mattered more than capital, he built Ambigram through resilience and purpose. His brand sits at the intersection of art, fashion, and self-expression, turning language into something you don’t just read, but wear.
What’s especially exciting is Ambigram’s future-facing vision. Lee is exploring how AI and technology can scale personalized ambigram designs, opening doors across industries, from fashion and branding to music, sports, and beyond. It’s creativity powered by tech, without losing the soul of the art. Interested in learning more about Ambigram or about investing, click here.
What made this episode stand out wasn’t just the contrast — it was the common thread. Both founders are redefining access.
Liquid.io is democratizing real estate investing. Ambigram is democratizing art, identity, and expression.
One uses blockchain. The other uses words. Both are building platforms rooted in belief, innovation, and persistence.
That’s the magic of Go Fund Yourself: it doesn’t force startups into a single mold. It celebrates the builders, the dreamers, and the risk-takers — whether they’re rewriting financial systems or flipping language on its head.
Episode 9 was a reminder that the startup world isn’t just about code or capital. Sometimes, it’s about perspective, and the courage to turn an idea into something the world can see, feel, and invest in. Watch the replay on Cheddar TV here.
