Welcome back – this week we're sitting down today with Leif Abraham, the cofounder and Co-CEO of investing platform Public.com!


Public is an investing platform that lets members invest in stocks, ETFs, crypto, Treasury bills, and alternative assets – and recently launched fractional investing in corporate and Treasury bonds in response to the increasing demand for fixed-income products from the platform's 3 million+ active investors.

On this episode, Leif sits down and talks with us about founding Public almost 6 years ago, how running an international company is different from the first two startups he founded, what keeps him coming back to fintech, whether retail investors are ready to 'take the plunge' on AI, working with Tony Hawk, and how they managed to snag that Public.com domain name.
