Grain – The Best App For Investing

Earlier this week, I had the spectacular pleasure of talking to Stephanie Tilden, Co-Founder and CTO of Grain App.  Twenty minutes into our conversation, she agreed to touch on everything from ‘investor confidence’ to rounds of seeding. It is gripping for the fact that the entire interaction with her is completely emblematic of the so called ‘perfect entrepreneur’ paradigm. She is respectful and even more gracious. She is the chief architect of her venture- Grain App, which is in BETA TESTING currently. Let me delve into the details.

About Grain App

Grain App was founded in 2014. To put in simple words, Grain enables you to invest in what you know with who you know. Investor confidence, like so many other things refuses to go with the ideas of startups, entrepreneurs etc. Investors who lack confidence can gain confidence by leveraging this amazing app.

Let me put this Stephanie Tilden’s words, “Use our app to translate concepts, themes, and keywords from your everyday life into relevant stocks and ETFs. Instantly. See solar panels and electric cars popping up all around you, but unsure how to turn that insight into an investment? Now observations from the real world can become part of your portfolio.
Share what you find with family and friends to make confident investing decisions together. You can warm up with our virtual stock market, then link a brokerage account to make real trades when you’re ready. Grain supports major U.S. brokerages.”
