Blossom Social

Founded in 2021 by Maxwell Nicholson, Blossom Social is a Canadian fintech company on a mission to make investing more accessible and collaborative. The platform functions as a social network where users can link their existing brokerage accounts (like Wealthsimple in Canada or various brokers via Plaid in the US) to share their portfolio composition and trading activity transparently. It aims to demystify investing by fostering a community where users can learn from each other, discover new investment ideas, and track the performance of top investors. The app combines social features with commission-free stock trading, which is facilitated through partnerships with licensed brokerage firms.
