Public is a multi-asset retail brokerage offering stocks, options, bonds, and crypto in one app, differentiating with a social investing layer (users can follow other investors and learn from their portfolios). Rebuilt the product around AI agentic features in 2025, positioning itself as the first agentic brokerage. Tiger Global-led Series D in Feb 2021 valued the company at $1.2B; subsequently raised additional capital and acquired Otis (alternative assets fractional) in 2022.
