Scott Galloway Backs Public.com

And you can follow him in the app @profgalloway.

Today, we’re excited to share that NYU Stern business professor and entrepreneur Scott Galloway is backing Public.com with a strategic seven-figure investment.

In addition to investing in the company, Scott is now on the app and will be sharing his insights on business strategy with our growing community of investors. Follow him @profgalloway.

We met Scott after a mutual friend and investor in Public introduced us. Our intention was to simply get him to join the community, so he can share his insights with the people on Public. About 12 minutes into the call he turned on the camera and asked what if he invested seven figures into the company. Now, after a few months of getting to know each other, here we are.

It’s no secret that Scott has been outspoken with his views on the democratization of investing, calling for modern platforms to build responsibly and provide guardrails to protect new investors as they grow their financial literacy. Like us, he believes that the very culture of investing needs to change and do so within a healthier ecosystem that promotes strategic thinking over speculative trading.

Scott is famous for his predictions, from calling that WeWork would cancel their IPO to Amazon buying Wholefoods. Obviously not all of his predictions became reality, but he has been a champion of critical thinking and high conviction investments.

We’re ecstatic that Public is now one of those high conviction investments.

Welcome to the community, @profgalloway.
