TFM #183 - IN PERSON - Woodstock with Co-Founder Brian Yun
Details
Woodstock is Japan’s very first social US stock trading app that offers its end-users the opportunity to invest in the US stock market for as little as 1,000 yen. Japanese investors can easily buy and sell from over 500 US stocks and ETFs, such as Tesla, Netflix, Google, Apple, and more, using only the Japanese yen. Furthermore, the app has enhanced Twitter-like interactive functionality to enable beginner investors to learn from the community, connect with friends, and share their investment portfolios.
Woodstock was established in 2021 by Brian Yun, Daisuke Kawamoto, and Min Ju, who discovered how inexperienced Japanese investors were often intimidated by a lack of knowledge of the financial markets and discouraged from stock investing due to complicated brokerage services. Woodstock lowers the barrier to entry for Japanese investors into the stock market by combining stock investing and interactive social network experiences.
