Finary Raises Money to Build the Investing Chat Platform

— April 13, 2021 — Business
Finary is a platform that is focused on next-generation investments. It helps the new generation create an online community to better understand the world of investments. Offering a digital platform to discuss stocks with friends, create new connections, and make trades all in one space.

The informal chatting platform allows different profiles to see each other's portfolios and collectively make trades as well. It skips over the hurdles of having to create a brand new account and directly connects with users' brokerage to execute the trades via Finary. The platform is self-described as a "Discord for investing" and recently, the startup company has raised $3.2 million, led by Aditi Maliwal from Upfront Ventures with help from Dash Fund and more.
