Commonstock is a platform for investors to coordinate their stock trades, follow the investments of friends and family, and engage in communities for greater knowledge of stock market sharing and transparency.   

David McDonough, the founder, and CEO of Commonstock, shares more on the origin story of the company for the Finding Genius series sponsored by Trinet. Commonstock raised a $10 million seed round with Floodgate and QED in 2020. This interview took place at an interesting time in the public markets where retail investors are a driving force in the stock market. In the week before this interview, heavily shorted companies, such as Gamestop and AMC, saw their stock prices grow exponentially through coordinated trades made by retail investors. David shares his thoughts on these events and the future of the company.
