Listen "E242: How an 18-Year-Old Harvard Dropout Raised $47M"
Episode Synopsis
Can a 23-year-old Harvard dropout build the next billion-dollar company?
In this episode, I talk with Steven Wang, founder and CEO of dub, a U.S. copy-trading platform that lets you automatically mirror the portfolios of real investors and traders. We get into why he thinks most retail investors won’t get good at stock picking, why the future is about picking people, not tickers, and how dub is trying to turn social-media-driven, mimetic trading into better financial outcomes. We also cover the retail trading boom, meme stocks, the “retail army,” what dub’s top creators actually do to generate alpha, and how a creator-led marketplace for strategies could reshape how the next generation builds wealth.
