About the Host:

Code Story is a podcast featuring tech leaders reflecting on the roads they traveled and the products they created. On the show, we interview tech visionaries, digging into the critical moments of what it takes to change an industry and build & lead a team that has your back. Code Story is a window into the digital startup world. In their own words, tech veterans share what it feels like to create a world-class product, how to recover from critical mistakes, and how to scale your solution to the masses.

About David Frank

David Frank grew up in Denver, CO; as expected, he loved skiing. He mentioned that Vale was his favorite mountain and continues to love it today. He graduated from the University of Michigan and did investment banking in San Francisco before starting his own firm. Outside of tech, he has two kids, and by the time this episode releases, he will be a married man! His family loves to ski, especially his son, who races down the mountain competitively.

From his experience in the industry and in the market, David saw a gap for small and medium-sized organizations to have a system to run financial businesses on. He and his team set forth to build the next-generation broker-dealer platform – one that is better than what they could build themselves and better than what the large institutions have.

This is the creation story of Stonehaven.
