Flight Story was formed in October 2021 to change how IPOs are communicated to investors. He believes that amateur investors using social media are forcing Wall Street to adapt, such as GameStop having to revise its IPO strategy after being hit hard by retail shareholders trading on social media- driven trades; now targeting both IPOs and private companies but with particular emphasis on retail investors market.
Personal Life
Oliver Yonchev has been co-founding Flight Story since 2021. This company helps brands stay at the forefront of what’s possible and was previously managing director at Social Chain – one of Europe’s premier social media marketing agencies.
Yonchev stresses the importance of businesses proactively communicating with retail investors who have become more influential than ever in the stock market. Retail investors, Yonchev notes, can have far greater effects than hedge funds or mutual funds on share prices; an example he uses is GameStop where an army of amateur investors boosted its share price through TikTok and YouTube, leaving Wall Street investors who had bet against GameStop feeling disappointed; something Flight Story hopes to capitalize on.
