Episode 134: Jannick Malling - Co-Founder & Co-CEO at Public

Welcome to Episode 134 of The VentureFizz Podcast, the flagship podcast from the leading authority for jobs & careers in the tech industry. For this episode of our podcast, I interviewed Jannick Malling, Co-Founder & Co-CEO at Public. Public is a new kind of brokerage that makes it possible to buy any public stock with any amount of money commission-free. It is an idea that I wish existed when I was younger, as they are democratizing the public markets by allowing people to purchase slices of stock. It is a different philosophy where you are focused on how much you want to invest or can invest versus the number of shares. They also have a really interesting social component to the app where you can see what other people are purchasing. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of topics, like: -Jannick’s background and career, including how he caught the entrepreneurial bug. -All the details on Public, including how everything works in terms of purchasing slices and the company’s business model. -How they are building a social layer to Public and how it is a key differentiator. -How they got the Public.com domain, as well as advice for founders on buying domains. -Advice on raising capital. -And so much more. Public is offering our listeners $10 for anyone who is approved and funds a Public account through this episode. Go to: http://share.public.com/jannick to get started.
