My thought is maybe though, like the way that the markets work and I'm no expert at this is, you know, you want to buy the news and sell the, um, or buy the buildup and then you sell the news. Yeah. Kramer can just be slow with getting onto these popular stocks so that by the time he's talking about Tesla, by the time he's talking about, Hey, you know, go buy Nvidia. It's like, yeah, you,
everyone's been talking about nvidia for six months before you start talking about it the portfolio that we have for him on autopilot is 15 million dollars following him following his inverse picks so essentially there's a we have a pseudo etf ish sort of thing this All based on his stupidity. All based on his stupidity, yeah. Or all based on what he thinks is right that turns out to be wrong.
That's incredible.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's been a journey. And again, like...
i don't come from this world you know i was living in bali before we started this thing and brian aaron scott my co-founders like we all did this stuff together we didn't think it would get this big uh we got a lot of no's and like the slogan of what our app essentially was was invest like a politician so like if your app says invest like a politician how big can that thing actually become how popular can that actually be
Turns out it can be very popular because not only are they good, it's also the perfect way to highlight the hypocrisy. Because what better way to highlight the hypocrisy of politicians stock trading than to literally build an app to invest alongside that hypocrisy. And the next thing you know, you got ABC News talking about us. Elon's retweeted us. Major thanks to you.
This is the first time we've ever had a long form conversation about this. Our app is, when we launched it, we were number two in the app store. No way! The whole thing blew up right before our very eyes. Yeah. And the Pelosi tracker was a great part of that. But we have much, much bigger, much broader ambitions. And that's where the venture-backed part comes in.
100%.
100%. Because our mission is to instill trust back in the institutions. And I'm not an expert at this topic, but the way that we see it is... Knock out the politicians. And this is all through autopilot. Autopilots are like our slogan in the broader when we pitch investors. I love the name, by the way. Yeah, I know. Put your money on it. It's to redefine money management.
So I'm 29 and we're about to go through the greatest wealth transfer in the history of the world. You know, 85 trillion is about to be parked on people like my doorstep. say i get half a million dollars when the boomers die yeah that's when the boomers die and part of that money is in housing but there still is a lot that goes into money management
75% of kids who inherit their parents' money fire their parents' financial advisor the day they get that money. So now you got a kid who has half a million dollars parked on his lap, fires the financial manager because it's like, who the heck are you? And now they have to make the decisions of how do I invest this money? Do I do it on my own?
Do I do it through a Google search, pick the top financial advisor? Do I do it through a friend? We think there's a lot of problems in that. And there's no trust and transparency in those decisions.
So with Autopilot, what we're trying to do is solve that trust and transparent way by building a marketplace to find a money manager and then invest through that money manager in a way that you still have control. And I think like what you said earlier, and I'm sorry for rambling, but... No, I love it. The big, big thing that we're trying to do is...
We're trying to ensure that people's money builds the futures that they want. And I think in 2030, 2035, 2040, this is going to become a bigger and bigger thing. And a good example of the early inklings of this is this Whether it's conspiracy theory or not, we'll see what happens with it.
But this topic of BlackRock and Vanguard having money and taking the assets in their own ETFs and stuff and using that to sway public interest
laws and public opinion in the company in the states that they oversee they're getting sued in texas they're getting sued in florida and part of like what again whether that's true or not what annoys me personally when i invest is i want to make sure that my money goes towards my beliefs and if you have someone else managing your money or you put your money in a vanguard you put your money in a blackrock
There's possibilities for that to happen at a much broader scale than if you do it on your own. That's exactly right. And that's like what we're trying to... We're trying to build that. We're trying to essentially build out the way that you can have your money managed without you having to sacrifice your own values, your own voter rights, your own beliefs. Exactly.
And it works for both sides. Like it... For me personally, pro-America, I don't want any dollars invested in Chinese stocks. And if I have maybe a couple hundred bucks if you're trying to swing an Alibaba, but if you got half a million dollars in that retirement, I don't want any of that invested in Alibaba. Inherently, you are funding a future where Alibaba succeeds. Do you want that?
The other side is we have customers and we have clients that are like, I don't want my money invested in oil companies. I want to be pro-EV. It's like, okay, but did you know that you got your retirement account with these other people and they... They have money in Chevron, Oxy, things like that. That's what we're trying to solve and trying to build to. And again, it all starts with just trust.
Because if you can't trust even where your money is being invested, what does that mean? In my opinion, that means society is worse off because you don't even trust how your money is being managed in that state that you're in.
