Summary

Matty is a unique trading platform that combines algorithmic trading with custom interest-focused investment portfolios to help achieve financial growth and smart money management. Matty was founded in 2021 by CEO Jon Bryson, who aimed to address the lack of education among new investors during the meme stock craze in 2020. The platform uses self-driven algorithmic trading technology to automatically trade shares within custom-made portfolios created based on users' unique interests and goals. Matty partners with Alpaca Broker API to offer retail investors access to buy and sell U.S stocks easily, while also emphasizing community-centered features such as sharing saving goals with social circles or contributing to others' goals. The platform's mission is to promote financial growth and smart money management for all users.
