Hello! I'm Preston Yadegar, and welcome to my personal website.
I'm the Founder & CEO of Shareholder Vote Exchange, the world's first exchange for shareholder voting rights. I believe that voting markets have the potential to create significant value for shareholders and the companies which they invest in.
Here are some quick facts about me:
- I grew up and currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
- I attended Boston University, where I studied Computer Science and Philosophy.
- The 2023 Paris Marathon was my first. I finished in 3:18:39, and my goal is to run a sub-3 hour marathon someday.
- I'm a decent chess player, with a peak rating of ~2000 on Chess.com, and I also enjoy playing poker.
- Some of my favorite books include:
- Understanding Global Conflict and Cooperation by Joseph Nye
- The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
- A Man for All Markets by Ed Thorp
- In One Man's Life by Albert Bigelow
