Company profile
researched Aug 2026dub is a mobile investing application operated by DASTA Inc. that lets retail users copy the trades of individual investors, referred to as Creators.

As of 2025 the platform lists more than 200 Creators with what the company describes as real, verifiable track records, and additional Creators are added on an ongoing basis.
The service is delivered through a group of regulated entities: advisory services are provided by dub Advisors, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser, and brokerage services by DASTA Financial, LLC, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC, serving retail customers on a self-directed basis in US-listed registered securities and ETFs. Clearing is handled by Apex Clearing Corporation. Customer accounts are insured up to $500,000 by SIPC, and the company states it uses AES bank-grade encryption.
