From Afterhour founder @SirJack:
Founder here, welcome new friends 👋
Lots of new users today, welcome!
**TLDR: Connect your portfolio, post your positions/trades/DD, follow the best traders, copy the best trades, have fun, celebrate wins, don’t be an asshole, report bad actors.**
# What is AfterHour?
I launched this app 2 years ago and we’ve come a long way (and still have a long ways to go).
I started this app because I felt like I saw the future of finance on places like WSB/Fintwit but the toxicity, scams, and fake screenshots ruined it for me.
We needed a **stock community you can trust**.
So over the last 2 years, we’ve been building and growing this community into what it is today. Where people put their money where their mouth is and share real positions with their DD and help each other win in the stock market.
#Our mission is to **Help People Make Money Together**
And we’re just getting started. 2025 will be the year of the AfterHour creator and we’re going to be making massive improvements across all fronts (chat rooms, trade notifications, data quality, feed algo, etc)
Worth reading my Magnum Dong Opus 5 where I outline the AfterHour Master Plan if you’re interested in what we’re building towards:

# Giving Feedback
We know there’s still a million things to fix and improve, so please give us your raw candid feedback.
The “rah rah rah this is awesome love you sirjack” is appreciated, but doesn’t make us better.
The only way we can become better, and grow this sustainably, is with the combined effort of the community.
Everyone I talk to says their favorite part of the app is the community.
Lets keep that going. You can’t scale a Reddit or a Discord which always breaks at a certain point. But with our own app, we can build the moderation and algorithms and features to optimize for alpha.
Email us at [email protected] or text me directly 650-698-8098 anytime.
I might not always reply but I make sure to read everything.
Thank you all for a great 2024 💜
