    We're trying to change the way people invest

    We're building a platform for people to invest as a team: a fun, engaging, social & educational way for friends to chat about stocks & coordinating trades with friends, coworkers or family. We're also building a hedge fund, holding competitions to back the best groups with $10k-$100k. For now, it's just equities (we've already partnered with most major brokerages) but eventually all asset classes will be social. If we can do this, we’ll drive more people to learn about investing & business while democratizing financial health & knowledge.

    Right now, it’s just me

    I’ve written a ton of code over the past year and, with the help of contractors, we’ve built an elegantly simple platform (web + iOS) for people to talk about stocks, share knowledge and execute trades with each other. We’ve also built competitions where teams can compete for insanely awesome prizes. You won't find much about us online since we're trying to stay under the radar (for now) but people are already making trades... It's exciting.

    We're well funded by top VCs

    We're just getting started... you’ll have all the 1. Resources 2. Freedom & 3. Security to help decide our 1. Tools 2. Team & 3. Direction. I’m biased, but I think this is an insanely amazing chance to join a solo, technical founder to shape the direction of something incredibly exciting… shoot me an email, david@commonstock.com
