AfterHour is a San Francisco social trading app that lets retail investors link their real brokerage accounts and post their actual positions - in full dollar amounts - to a public feed under a pseudonym. The twist is verification: you can talk your book, but the app proves you're holding what you claim. Founded by Kevin Xu, the WallStreetBets folk hero known as 'Sir Jack A Lot' who turned roughly $35,000 into millions during the meme-stock era, AfterHour combines verified portfolios, live stock chat rooms, and real-time trade signals into one community. It raised a $4.5M seed round led by Founders Fund and General Catalyst in June 2024.
dub is America's first regulated copy-trading platform, letting everyday investors mirror the portfolios of top traders, hedge-fund managers, and even politicians with a single tap. Founded by 23-year-old Harvard dropout Steven Wang and headquartered in New York, the SEC-registered, FINRA-member, SIPC-insured app has surpassed 1 million downloads and raised $47M total, including a $30M Series A in May 2025 co-led by Notable Capital and Neo.
