Great product and love the minimalist look! Congrats on the launch
Awesome product! They just launched Slices which allows ppl to buy any amount of stock for any price. It’s pretty darned democratic.
In an attempt at taking a bit more control over my own money, I sought out a few different ways of investing. Public has been an excellent tool for what I need it for (not Gordon Gecko-esque stuff), and it's been dare I say...fun? It's helped me take ownership of my investments and encouraged me to learn more about the minutia of the stock markets.
Sounds like a great product! Is the website down though?

Thanks! Nope, the website has been up all morning. Feel free to DM if it isn't rendering for you and we can figure out what's going on :)
Maker
thanks for DM'ing - glad we figured it out :)
Hi, the website occasionally crashes form Dublin, Ireland.
Maker
Strange, we haven't had any issues on the site, and uptrends.com says Dublin is fine. Feel free to DM me so we can try and figure it out - thanks! :)
Main difference / added value comparing with Robin Hood app? It looks like you share at least one (bad) thing: not available in Spain 😢

On Robinhood you have to buy a full share, which means you can't fully control how much to invest in a company, and also means you have to spend $6,000 just to own the 15 biggest companies on the S&P500. I also addressed a couple of other differentiating factors in the above in response to and :) In terms of Spain/Europe: I get it. As a European myself now living in the U.S., I'd love love love to expand our service to Europe, but its tricky from a regulatory perspective and takes a lot of time. Never say never though ;)
Congrats on the launch. Fractional share is just a missing feature in Robinhood and already exists in Stash, Revolut, Stockpile, among others. People who have investable assets don't buy stocks because they are $300+ a share but because of the fear of losing money. I don't see how this is differentiated enough to welcome new investors. $20 referral will definitely get you a lot of non-active $20-$50 brokerage accounts, which doesn't move the needle for your business or investors. Good luck!
Only US App Store?
Maker
Yes, since we're only able to onboard U.S. customers (for now).
Curious how this compares with the Stash App? I have been using that over the last year to purchase partial shares. Always looking for the latest and greatest ways to invest!
Good question. We're the first platform that offers fractional stocks in real-time. Most other platforms queue up the orders and execute them periodically, which we didn't want to do as it means you can't see the price you're getting :)
