Stash is making investing accessible to everyone. The platform and app was started in 2015 and since then has grown to more than 1.2 million accounts and over 2.5 million content subscribers.

The minimum investment in Stash is only $5, opening the door for all types of investors. In fact, over 80% of Stash customers are first-time investors.
When it comes to crypto, Krieg says they are waiting and watching. Krieg wants to get a sense of what regulators do and say. That being said, Stash customers are asking to invest in crypto. Krieg reveals that Stash will likely roll out a product sometime later this year.
