If you don’t understand the first thing about how to invest money, you’re not alone. Buying and trading stocks, growing your savings + investing can be confusing, with a huge knowledge gap to bridge before you can start seeing a return on your investment — if you do at all.

That’s why Greenville native Jon Bryson created Matty, a trading platform that invests your money for you. The app is unique from other investing platforms because it combines algorithmic trading technology with a community-based, goal-oriented approach.

If that piques your interest, here’s how it works:

  • When you download Matty, you’ll be prompted to set a specific savings goal — this can be anything from a vacation fund to a down payment for a house.
  • Then, Matty analyzes your social media platforms to suggest companies to invest in that match your unique interests + lifestyle objectives.

Once you’ve curated your ideal investment portfolio, Matty uses its algorithm-based trading technology to automatically trade and invest shares from your portfolio across specific sectors + industries, which has the potential to grow your savings.

When you hit your savings goal, the money is automatically released into your bank account — and what happens next is totally up to you. You can reinvest that money again, take the vacation you just saved up for, or maybe a combination of both.

Bonus: Because Matty integrates seamlessly with your social media accounts, you can share your financial progress with your friends + fam with the touch of a button. And if you’re feeling generous, you can contribute towards someone else’s goal, too.*
