Dub: The Copy Trading App That Has Teens Talking

Social media changed everything from news consumption to shopping. Now, Dub thinks it can do the same for investing through an influencer-driven marketplace where users can follow the trades of top investors with a few taps. Think of it as TikTok meets Wall Street.Founded by 23-year-old Steven Wang — a Harvard drop-out who began investing in second grade with his parents’ blessing – Dub is betting the future of investing isn’t about picking stocks but picking people. The app allows users to follow the strategies of traders, hedge funds, and even those mimicking high-profile politicians. Instead of making individual trade decisions, Dub users can copy entire portfolios.The concept has struck a chord. Dub has already surpassed 800,000 downloads and raised $17 million in seed funding – with a new round seemingly in the works
