At Public, we believe that one of the best ways to strengthen financial literacy is to immerse yourself in conversations with others about money and investing. That’s why we’ve built a social layer around the stock market.

Today, we’re excited to share some major updates that will transform the way you connect with other investors and the companies you admire on Public.

Personalize your experience

Tell us what you’re into. After updating the app, you can select the people, companies, and themes that are most relevant to you. This will help us personalize your experience and connect you to the things you care about.

In-feed news alerts

We’ve partnered with some of the top publishers in business, technology, and culture to arm you with real-time stories about the companies you invest in and watch.

Browse headlines within the feed to stay informed, and leave a comment to start a conversation with other investors who follow the same company.

Express yourself

Add more depth to comments on people’s investments by choosing from a more expressive range of reactions, from 🔥 to 😭 and everything in between. Add context to your reaction and start a conversation by dropping a comment on the post.

Add your bio

Adding a photo and headline to your account will make it easier to connect with like-minded investors. Some people use the headline as a professional title (e.g. “Chief Product Officer at Cloud Nine”), while others use the space to share specific interests (e.g. “Passionate about sustainability & the future of cannabis”).

Much more to come

We are continuously rolling out new features, so stay tuned for more. But never forget: We’re building Public for you. Give us feedback, send ideas, and invite your friends to the community
