With the latest funding, threedots aims to strengthen its product by on-boarding more market experts and expanding the team that provide institutional-level expertise and resources that help early investors make the quality investment decisions.

The platform allows members to bridge the gap between market experts and users, by providing a community space to discuss and share knowledge with like-minded peers, stock and crypto market experts. The app also offers users a daily dose of financial news and a finance centric community apart from stock investing.
threedots was designed and created in March 2021 by a team— Rishu Garg, Prakhar Bhardwaj and Akul Agarwal, ex alumni of BITS Pilani and coworkers at Groww— with deep backgrounds in the fintech space.
