About
Founded in 2022 and based in California, US, AfterHour Inc. operates as a financial technology company that offers a digital platform using which investors can interact with each other. The company was founded by Kevin Xu formerly known as Sir Jack. In June 2024, the firm raised USD 4 million in Seed funding co-led by investors General Catalyst Partners and Founders Fund, with participation from other investors Pear VC, Daybreak, Gold House Ventures, Alumni Ventures Group, Hyphen Capital, Anti Fund, Roadrunner Ventures, Gaingels, F4 Fund, Trousdale Ventures, and SaxeCap.
Individual investors also participated in the round. AfterHour's primary offering is its mobile application, which combines verified trader positions, real-time trading recommendations, and engaging conversations within chat rooms tailored to individual tickers. Retail investors can discuss market trends, and exchange trading methods, and get confirmation for their trading decisions from actual portfolio performance using the firm social finance platform. The company plans to use the June 2024 funding to bolster its community app features to improve the trading experience of retail traders.
