David Weild IV is a well-known figure in the financial industry, having previously served as the Vice Chairman of NASDAQ and as the father of the JOBS Act, which was signed into law in 2012 and aimed to make it easier for small businesses to raise capital through IPOs. With Weild's addition to the board of directors, Yippy hoped to benefit from his extensive experience in the financial industry and his expertise in helping companies to go public.
