Excited to Join the Forum & Hear the advice/insights from the Pros

Hey guys,


Name is Chris Josephs and I am here to try to pick the brains of the smart typical wall st investor and banker. Long story short, my friends and I are creating a social investing app where we are bringing the community to the marketplace. We are taking the social aspect of an instagram and merging it with the collaboration aspect on a wework to help facilitate better informed investors. We will be implementing social features like anonymous leaderboards, group chats, discussion boards, and much more. You also will be able to request access to your friends profiles and track the real time trades throughout the day (all $ totals are never revealed and are all just %'s) Yet through all this, we will be making sure to keep the ethics of investing in line. This is where I am hoping this great forum comes into play. As we build, I want to hear from the wall st community what they think about the features we roll out and what can be done better/worse with the app as a whole.

We really think this app is going to change the game for the retail investor. The app currently is on the app store now and you can check it out for yourself by searching Iris finance.


Let me know your thoughts and am excited to join the discussion.


Best, 

Chris Josephs
