For the 134th episode of our podcast, I interviewed Jannick Malling, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Public.
Public is a new kind of brokerage that makes it possible to buy any public stock with any amount of money commission-free. It is an idea that I wish existed when I was younger, as they are democratizing the public markets by allowing people to purchase slices of stock. It is a different philosophy where you are focused on how much you want to invest or can invest versus the number of shares. They also have a really interesting social component to the app where you can see what other people are purchasing.
In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of topics, like:
- Jannick’s background and career, including how he caught the entrepreneurial bug.
- All the details on Public, including how everything works in terms of purchasing slices and the company’s business model.
- How they are building a social layer to Public and how it is a key differentiator.
- How they got the Public.com domain, as well as advice for founders on buying domains.
- Advice on raising capital.
- And so much more.
