No one should invest alone. Pluto is the social investing app for you and your friends. See their portfolios, get notified when they trade and discuss the latest opportunities while investing free of commissions.
Hey fellow makers 👋 (and thanks for hunting @mwseibel)
Welcome to Pluto! @vingtoft, myself and the rest of the team have worked super hard towards this day and are excited to launch for the PH community. Here's a bit more context about what we're building.
The problem ❗️
As a former trader at Goldman Sachs, I know that investing is very emotional and that getting started can be daunting. Having helped numerous friends taking the first step to become private investors, I often found myself sending screenshots of my portfolio, performance and latest transactions while providing continuous feedback the other way over WhatsApp. Similarly (being a market junkie myself) I had multiple conversations with likeminded peers and friends causing a lot of back and forth between different apps. 😵💫
I learned that me and my friends weren't alone. About 80% of GenZ investors are looking to friends and influencers when considering their next move. The new generations haven't learned that investing used to be hush hush and why should it? Just like everything else in life, we lean on the ones we trust to make risky decisions: friends and family.
The solution 💥
Pluto is the transparent investment app for you and your friends/family enabling you to collaborate, compete or co-invest. Users can create a group to leverage the accumulated brain-power and see each other's portfolios at any time and get notified when their friends trade. To level the playing field, new investors can start out with $5,000 demo-dollars until they get comfortable enough to deploy their hard earned savings. Investing shouldn't be daunting and we're here to prove that you can both make money, have fun and grow as an investor at the same time. We call this multiplayer investing and new users even receive a cash-reward for signing up. What's not to like? 🥰
We are currently fully live in 🇺🇸 with 🇪🇺 rollout scheduled for 2023.
Feedback, thoughts and reactions? 👂
/ Peace ✌🏼
This is awesome! Never heard of multiplayer investing before now, and I gotta say... how can I not have? This is one of the best founder ideas I've come across in a long time, it just really makes sense and meets a 'customer pain' so many have!
@simone_lindeque great start at least! The funny thing as a founder is, that oftentimes you have the product vision, but communicating it in a concise way that resonates can be a lot harder! Please let me know if there's any features that you would like to bring to our attention!
@joakim_bruchmann that makes sense! :D But you've been great at communicating the vision and the value for the user so far - in my opinion. So I don't have any questions. Congrats on the launch and look forward to following Plutos further journey!
The idea is really interesting to me. Would love to try it later! Overall, I think it could see huge growth when people are very hype to try different investment methods to avoid inflation. Crypto, stocks or NFT. You may also use it for B2B to build their community. It will be super fun!
@huy_doan_quang yeah agree. We are adding new assets over time, so those mentioned will indeed be offered eventually. Are you currently using your friends for sparring when investing?
@joakim_bruchmann I also have different groups in discord and telegram to share our ideas and take a look for suggestions of trending company to buy stocks or crypto. So I think your idea could be useful and do you also think about of integrating other stock / crypto price tracking?
@huy_doan_quang interesting. How large are those discord/telegrams typically and do you know the other people in there? We want to add new assets over time, but everything will be traded on Pluto also where you have you Pluto brokerage account.
@joakim_bruchmann the community is 3 or 4 thousands of people. I don't know all of them of course but everyone is very open to share their opinion and prediction. Quite interesting to see their analytics. I think it could be also the same with Pluto now for a healthy community
