DriveWealth Invites the World to Invest

DriveWealth’s founder and CEO, Bob Cortright, is a seasoned US entrepreneur who has built and sold several successful financial technology companies during his 30 year career.
When he started looking deeply into global investing trends, he was amazed at what he found. “The consumer goods industry had fully developed into a global marketplace, with global companies extending their brand reach worldwide. Look at the top 50 global brands, Apple, McDonalds, Nike, and so on. They are all household names in virtually every market around the world, and the developing markets are particularly voracious consumers of these global brands.”
In fact, over 80% of the growth for these top global brands over the next five years is projected to come from emerging markets. Yet, despite the marketing and advertising efforts by these companies worldwide, there was virtually no access for dedicated customers to invest in these companies. With 85% of the Top 50 global brands being listed in the United States, access to invest in these premier global companies was relegated to the very rich who could afford the $10,000 minimum account balances and $50 round trip trade fees.
Bob’s entrepreneurial light bulb went off, and he began building what is now DriveWealth.   DriveWealth is the first truly global online equity investing program, focused on providing low cost access to the most liquid and recognizable US-listed securities to “everyone, everywhere” in the world.   After launching the DriveWealth App in late August 2014, the App was downloaded in 80 countries around the world in the first three weeks.
