Use your stock to support causes that matter. Invest any amount ($0 commission) while joining other shareholders combining their voting power to have a say. “Using iconik, small shareholders could [have] the same clout as a large institution.” -New York Times
Hi Everyone,
Many thanks Ben for hunting! iconik is a stock trading platform where investors band together to have a stronger voice at the companies you invest in.
Here's how it works:
1. buy whatever stocks and/or ETFs you like,
2. for some stocks, you'll have an option to join campaigns on issues like climate change,
3. to join, swipe a slider to let iconik know that you want to use your shareholder votes to support the campaign's goals
That's it!
We believe there is a massive, untapped potential to have more influence over public companies. Currently, only 12% of people vote their shares, but over 90% of institutional investors (i.e. index funds, hedge funds) vote. These institutional investors often use their shareholder votes to prevent progress on environmental and social issues.
Our vision extends beyond voting. We believe that when you band together as investors, you have the potential to become a political force that companies will need to listen to.
btw in addition to the free stock offer above, we have a referral program. To start earning stock referring friends, download the app, set up your account, and tap "Free stock" from your home screen. 🤑
Our mission is to help shift the balance of power from corporate managers back to people. Excited to share the app with you today and looking forward to your comments and questions!
This is super innovative - love the direction of this. With the rise of platforms like Wallstreet Bets, this seems like the next evolution of bringing together individual investors to compete against hedge funds, yeah?
