About Dub
Dub, operating under its legal name DASTA Incorporated, is a financial technology company that has positioned itself as the first regulated copy-trading platform in the United States. Founded in 2021 by Steven Wang, a Harvard dropout with a history of entrepreneurship, the New York-based firm aims to bridge the gap between retail investors and expert-driven investment strategies. Wang's journey includes founding and selling a VR company after leaving high school and a stint at Apple before conceiving Dub from his dorm room, inspired by the trend of narrative and personality-driven investing.
Read full description
The company's core offering is a mobile application that allows users to replicate the investment portfolios of various individuals, including hedge fund managers, financial influencers, and even public figures, with a single tap. This model shifts the focus from picking individual stocks to selecting people or strategies to follow. The platform is designed to lower the barrier to entry for novice investors and provide a transparent marketplace for investment ideas. To ensure regulatory compliance, Dub spent over two years working with FINRA and the SEC before its launch and operates through its affiliated entities: DASTA Investment LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser, and DASTA Financial, LLC, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC.
Dub generates revenue through a subscription-based model, charging a monthly fee of $9.99 or an annual fee of $89.99. Additionally, the company takes a 25% share of any management fees charged by high-performing portfolio creators on the platform. This structure incentivizes experienced investors to share their strategies, creating a marketplace dynamic. The company has secured significant financial backing, announcing a $17 million seed round in February 2024, led by Tusk Venture Partners, and a $30 million Series A round in May 2025, co-led by Notable Capital and Neo. This brings its total funding to $47 million, with investors including prominent figures like the CEO of Uber and a co-founder of Robinhood.
