dub just raised a $30M Series A to change how America invests. People are bad at picking stocks. Instead, they should pick smart people to copy-trade. Here’s dub’s story:👇

Thank you to my Chinese immigrant parents who gave it all up to chase the American Dream… and now live it through my sister and I. So much left to build, and so many more to share the greatest ‘dream’ in the world.

Dub CEO, @stwangentr, gave a ted talk on Ownership and the American Dream. The world's changed: the dream has to as well. You can find the video here: youtube.com/watch?v=tubqpG…

I define the "NEW AMERICAN DREAM" on the @TEDx floor at my alma mater... one based on the immigrant journey, the wayward path of my generation, and loss of belief in the great future of American innovation and greatness. The very reason my parents gave it all up to come here with nothing... was Ownership - real participation in the incredible value Americans create, value greater than anywhere else in the world. Many GenZ seem to have forgotten what it takes to be the best, and lucky we all are to be in the country that makes it not only possible but accessible to all. youtube.com/watch?v=tubqpG…

What do watermelons and stocks have in common?

Citadel and Millennium don't run one strategy They hire the best portfolio managers and optimize the mix We just made that possible for ANYONE We gave Claude access to 3+ years of our proprietary portfolio data This is real-time positioning from HUNDREDS of professional investment advisors, hedge fund managers, and retail traders actively navigating live markets We connected it to a paper trading account It built a diversified mix of 9 strategies tailored to the investment thesis we provided Claude executed 124 trades AUTOMATICALLY The entire process took less than 5 mins You don't have to be a multi-millionaire to enjoy personalized asset management...

The average person who remained invested on dub for their first full year made 24.5%. We pulled the data on every Dub customer who held securities across all four quarters of their first year on the platform. Here's what we found: Mean return: 24.5% Median return: 23.3% Trimmed mean: 23.4% That cluster (average, median, and trimmed mean) all landing between 23–25% means this isn't being dragged up by a handful of outliers. It's broad-based. So how does dub work? It’s simple. Any investor regardless of experience in the markets can jump on the app and start copying stock portfolios made by real investors.

Portfolios, baskets of stocks, can either be set to update automatically when they’re changed, or set to be manually synced. 

The strategies have real performance, verified on app, and are shown against a benchmark. They’re also scored on volatility, market sensitivity, and display their biggest drawdowns. When you want to copy a portfolio, press the copy button at the bottom of your screen and invest however much you want.

We're the first Social Investing app. But What is Social Investing? Social Investing is accessing a community to support your investing journey. Through dub, you get access to a network of investors that display their trades transparently for anyone to copy. With social investing, information is shared though a community instead of gate-kept from the uninformed. Through the Activity Feed you can discuss and learn from creators you follow. You can comment, ask questions, find rebalance notes, all in one spot. Find it on dub today.

Dub CEO, @swangentr, discusses our app and what we want to do with it on @YahooFinance

We Just Made Investing on dub way more Social. Product Update: People wanted more context from Creators beyond text posts in the Activity Feed. 

And as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words... Let alone a video. Creators can now post photos and videos. Copiers have always wanted to engage with Creators. Asking the Creators questions, talking shop on investing, understanding investing strategies... Now they can. You can now Comment on and Like any Activity Feed post. Check out the Activity Feed on dub today!

Dub CEO, @swangentr, answers this crucial question: Why do only 17% of Americans feel confident about investing?

Americans need a new form of deploying Capital: 

Gambling and hasty stock picking won’t cut it. Just 4% of online bettors withdrew more than they spent over a five-year period. In a survey, 49% of U.S. adults said they gambled within the past year. Revenue in the Gambling market is projected to reach US $655B in 2026. 

So what’s the alternative? Investing? Well, the median investor spends just six minutes researching before buying a stock. Most of that time is spent in a burst immediately before placing the order.

 Less than 1% was spent considering metrics related to risk.

 That’s why we created dub: dub aims to help you outsource your investing strategy. The idea is to connect you with an investor you believe in, based off your research and the transparent data we show you on app. You can’t fake returns on dub. You can trade 100% automatically after copying an investor. Don't miss out.

62% of Gen Z trusts social media over financial advisors. So where do people actually learn about Investing? - 36% of ALL Americans lean on social media for financial advice over traditional advisors
 - For Gen Z? That number hits 62%
 - 72% of Americans believe financial apps have made wealth-building more accessible than ever
 - Gen Z wants to hit financial independence by age 32 
 - The national average? financial independence by age 53 Bottom line, people trust people they see consistently, whose thinking is visible over time. That part is rational. But it creates a problem. New investors are piped two streams: 

The first, social media advice, which we know can be untrustworthy and send you down unprofitable rabbit holes, and often is designed to sell you on products.aThe second is Robo advisors, designed to be easy and hands free, but removing choice from the equation. It’s a black box with no transparency. The Robo Advisor market is projected to reach $3.2 trillion by 2033.
 But a lot of investors don’t want boring choices made for them. They also don’t want untrustworthy advice. But there was simply no middle ground. That’s where dub comes in. We're building a creator economy for finance—but with accountability baked in. 

Transparent track records, real portfolios, and feedback on every trade.

 But more than that, we give investors a choice, while still getting you the ease and simplicity of automatic trading.

The idea is for you to come and evaluate strategies and choose one. 

You find investing strategies, analyze them using track records, volatility, risk, market sensitivity, and more, and then you can copy the portfolio. After that, every trade is automatic.

dub was created to be a place where investing talent can be seen. By giving creators the tools to build real portfolios and demonstrate performance, the platform makes it possible for strong strategies to stand out and get discovered by institutions, RIAs, collaborators, and individual investors alike. We’re excited that Joshua’s work on dub led to participation in the @dubAdvisors Creator Program, and even more excited about what’s possible when talent has a true public proving ground!

We surveyed 2,000 Americans: 53% of them said the 9-to-5 wealth playbook is dead. The verdict? The old playbook just isn't working anymore. THE DATA: 1. 53% of Americans say a traditional full-time job will NOT let them reach their financial goals 2. Gen Z? That jumps to 60% 3. 43% of Gen Z say side hustles are essential to reaching their goals (vs. just 18% of Boomers) 4. 41% of Gen Z say entrepreneurship is essential (vs. 16% of Boomers) 5. 32% of all Americans say they need "a job AND something else" to succeed financially WHAT THIS TELLS US: The shift isn't from "working" to "not working." It's from single-income loyalty to income agility—multiple streams, diversified bets, taking control of your financial future instead of waiting for a paycheck to get you there. This is exactly why we built dub: to open up investing as one aspect of your financial future. You should NOT need a finance degree or a $10k/year advisor to get involved in the stock market. That’s why copy trading fits so perfectly in today’s wealth building landscape. Read the full story here: dubapp.com/dub-harris
