Fair! Growing user trust is definitely one of the biggest challenges building in this space.

For what it's worth, we don't hold users' funds ourselves; we use an SEC-regulated custodian (Alpaca) with the assets legally held in your name. And we're working on building transparency measures, like detailed views into your account's specific holdings of underlying assets with verifiable attestations, third-party auditing, and frankly any other measures that our customers would want us to.

I know putting company money into a new product requires a lot of trust. Like any product you're still exploring, I'd encourage you to start small, try us out, and grow your position over time as we earn your trust. And if it helps you trust us, I'd be happy to get on a Zoom call or meet IRL.
