Dub is shifting the way people invest by blending influencer culture with financial strategies. With over 800,000 downloads and $17 million in funding, this platform allows users to follow successful investors, hedge funds, and even political figures like Nancy Pelosi, without having to pick individual stocks themselves. Instead of just trading for the sake of it, Dub encourages informed decision-making by displaying risk metrics and performance scores. The platform’s $10/month subscription and fees from top portfolios create its revenue, and its founders have worked hard to stay compliant with financial regulations. Critics might argue that active trading doesn’t always beat passive investing in the long run, but Dub’s founder, Steven Wang, believes otherwise, pointing to successful hedge funds. By offering a learning-focused approach and avoiding the mistakes of other fintech companies, Dub aims to make investing smarter and more accessible for everyone.
