AfterHour’s Post

Excited to announce our $4.5M Seed Round for AfterHour, the ultimate financial community app for the internet generation. With our raise, we're doubling down on community features that give everyday traders the chance to find alpha faster in the stock market. Backstory: I turned $35k into $8M in the stock market. Lucky? Absolutely. But I really believe a big portion of my edge came from exchanging quality DD/alpha with retail traders across communities. Now, I want to help other retail traders find their edge. Being able to distinguish signal from noise in investing and trading is incredibly difficult. You have to get through the bots and paid groups - after that, you have to somehow verify the DD/alpha you find from people who aren’t transparent with their track record. This is what we built AfterHour to solve. With our Seed round, we’ll be doubling down on new community features that’ll give retail traders even more ways to build their unfair advantage in the stock market. The goal is to create a social trading experience where DD/alpha/signals come from voices that put their money where their mouth is by showing verified positions in callouts they make. With over $200M+ in verified positions so far, AfterHour is becoming the go-to app for traders to exchange their best ideas. We have users sharing portfolios from $1,000 all the way to $78M - it makes no difference. There’s an opportunity to find traders just like you to follow, learn from, and ultimately make it easier to succeed in the stock market. A big thank you to our investors for believing in our mission.
