Founded in 2014 and backed by Y Combinator, Instavest aimed to democratize investing by creating a marketplace where users could find top-performing investors, view their portfolios, and automatically mirror their investment strategies. The platform provided transparency into the track records of lead investors, enabling followers to "co-invest" with a single click. In 2018, Instavest was acquired by Halo Investing, a platform focused on structured notes and buffered ETFs. Following the acquisition, the Instavest platform was shut down, and its team and technology were integrated into Halo Investing's operations.
