Our take

The stock market can be a confusing place unless you work on Wall Street, making investing a pretty daunting experience. Public.com brings accessibility to the stock market, helping people invest regardless of experience or available funds.

This is done through a commission-free platform that allows users to own fractional shares of stocks, funds, and crypto, making it easier to get started. It has created a safe space for a broad audience, with educational and social features that help users become more familiar with investing.

The concept of making investments more accessible is not unique to Public.com, but a key draw that it has over the competition is its focus on creating a social community. It has also been quick to innovate, such as with the launch of AI-powered investment research tool Alpha. And it continues to raised funding to support product development and solidify its place in the industry.
