Advisors
P2PU is also lucky and proud to have had a group of wise and wonderful advisors who have given their time to act as a sounding board, and help us navigate any thorny, difficult (and interesting) issues. They bring a diverse mix of backgrounds and expertise, and we appreciate that they have offered to help us make the P2PU real. All Advisers act in their personal capacity. The Advisers carry no responsibility for the content of this site or the activities of the P2PU.
