Autopilot

The "If you can't beat them, join them" movement is officially taking off. Last week, Fox News ran a prime time report on Autopilot highlighting our movement to ban politicians from trading stocks is picking up steam and how our app is at the forefront of it. Incredible to see what started out a fun idea blossom into a movement actually creating change in this country.

2023 recap: How Autopilot is changing America 🇺🇸 "Customers don't want to follow the hero, they want to be the hero" Adopt this strategy and you can actually change the world: Tesla did it for EV movement, Apple did it for creative movement, even Founders Fund did it for the "Pro America" movement. Brands that allow their customers to be the hero in a movement are often the brands that win, but the key is the customer needs to feel involved. Passively following a movement doesn't create change. Gamestop brought change bc people could buy GME. Apple brought change bc people could create with the Mac. With Autopilot , we saw a once in a lifetime opportunity to actually bring about change through our product. Politician Stock Trading is a poison for society. Watching them make millions creates distrust in our institutions & instills anger, frustration, and despair seeing them do it all so blatantly. And beyond that, is one of the most bi-partisan, agreed upon topics in the US right now. Everyone wants it banned, yet for years nothing happened. It's definition hypocritical. The reason (we think) is because there is no way for people to actually get involved. Yes tweet about it helps, Yes calling it out helps, but it's not enough. The movement seemed to stall for this reason: People can't be the hero by passively following a movement. And what better way to showcase the hypocrisy of it all than by literally creating a way to copy their trades. "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em". We are proud to say that we are the first company in the world giving customers an actual way to partake in the movement. Through Autopilot, we've had 10,000+ people invest $13M+ in strategies that automatically copy Politician's stock trades. Everything aligns perfectly. First, it gives people an actual way to get involved. Second, the copying of their trades shows how much money they actually make (Pelosi was up 50%+ in 2023). And third, it's a simple story that everyone understands. And the world has seemed to notice: - 400,000+ downloads - 1.5M social media followers - 1.5B+ media impressions - Major media including ABC, Fox news, NPR, & more organically covered it - trending top 100 app for 10 weeks in a row - Direct lines of communication with the politicians trying to bring about change And the Politicians have noticed too - RoKhanna introduced bills calling for the banning of politician trading - AOC & Matt Gaetz introduced their own bill - Josh Hawley even introduced a bill called the "Pelosi act" To be clear, we aren't the only ones pushing this movement further. Unusual Whales & Quiver Quantitative have done an A+ job getting the movement started, and they deserve the majority of the credit and the movement wouldn't be here without them. There's still work to do. The bills are a start, but the next step is to get it to a vote. And we won't stop until it's done
