For context, I was stuck indoors (thanks Omicron) and wanted to build something to help my friends who wanted to try active investing. I built a basic version of this app on the side a while ago but ended up dropping it due to "work". Given the relevance of investing these days I picked it back up and finished it. Hopefully Apple approves it quickly and it's on the App Store soon .

How it works is simple.

For those looking to find alpha: - Search for investors you want to copy and follow them - Get notified in real-time whenever they make a trade - If they charge a monthly fee, we let you pay with your credit card through stripe and bill you automatically each month - Memberships can be cancelled before the 15th of each month

For those looking to share alpha: - Connect your brokerage with Plaid on our platform and set your monthly rate (if you choose to charge people) - Link your bank account info and get paid out monthly - We take a 10% cut to help with platform costs and processing fees

I tried to make this app as lean as possible to keep it clean & simple. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them! If you want to collaborate and improve this project, let me know!
