Thanks for the hunt @katmanalac Hi everyone! My name is Prateek and I'm the co-founder of GreenTiger. I wanted my mom (who lives in India) to invest in US equities, and as I went about researching what's the best place to open an account for her, it dawned on me that there was no clear or affordable option for us! Most brokerages were outdated, needed you to physically submit paperwork, submit high deposits, and/or charged high commissions. This is what drove me to build a simpler, affordable, and less scary alternative that could make it easier for people like you and me to invest in companies we loved without being inundated by information. Our goal is to make investing less scary and more rewarding, and we're just getting started on that journey. If you're interested, we're offering the first 100 people who sign up using our PH referral link early access. Everyone else who signs up using this link afterwards gets one bump on the waitlist :) Here's the link: https://greentiger.co/?ref=produ...

As the millennial middle class in India swells ( ~ 550 mil in 2025 acc to McKinsey ) - products like this will fuel savings, investing and a global perspective. Excited to see two passionate and intelligent founders laying the basis for financial empowerment in India.

I didn't realize you need a US SSN to sign up online at etrade/etc, so really cool there's finally a way for people in India to buy US stocks!

Just Joined the waiting list. May be this is an awesome place to buy US equities, But my suggestion is to get a local Bank/RBI or any regulatory brand name on the page. That will increase confidence for the end user/consumer. if you increase the trust factor, 1. You will get high ticket investment 2. More subscribers. You can also be more transparent on how you earn. You know there is no FREE LUNCH in the market. Just FYI. Good Luck Guys

@vlmanojkumar1 Thank you so much for your feedback! We'll try to mention regulatory licenses ASAP. Would it help to add the pricing structure in the FAQ section?
Manoj Kumar
@prateek_swain1 Surely It will.

@vlmanojkumar1 Great, we'll work to add that soon!

This is so simple, yet so useful. I love it! Would recommend! As an Indian, who's lived in the US, it's so important to have access to investment options in US securities, and a diverse portfolio.

Amazing product! Bought some AAPL stocks from France months ago when it was down and I paid so much commissions! There is definitely such a need globally! In the meantime, I’ll move to India just to use it 😍🇮🇳👌🏻

My US friends use RObinhood App for the same thing, I tried but it didn't worked in India. So I tried my hands on Kyte App from Zerodha, but that also doesn't have US Investment Direct option. Thanks for making things easier for many...

@sebthedev Thanks Sebastian! Yes we do. Our goal is to make it easier for people to not just invest, but also learn how to invest. Stay tuned :)

@victor_zhang2 Hey Victor, thanks so much for your feedback! When we started hacking together our MVP, we looked at Robinhood and other trading apps out there to figure out how to best design a securities trading application (since neither of us are designers) but are definitely prone to biased lenses. Clearly, we have a lot of work ahead of us and will definitely incorporate your feedback to carve a stronger design for ourselves.

Launching soon!
@prateek_swain1 Awesome work! Any thought on which stocks will be / have been most traded in?

@spencer_burleigh Thanks Spencer! We've definitely heard a lot of demand for Apple in particular, FAANG and a few other blue chip stocks :)
