Dub & AI: Copy-Trade Your Way to VC-Paid Delusion
In the relentless creator economy circus, fintech startup Dub snagged $30 million to let you 'copy influencers’ stock trades' — because why not outsource your bad decisions? Meanwhile, AI startups like Hedra raised $32 million to churn generative viral content, and luminaries like Emma Chamberlain and MrBeast are cashing in on venture capital. Tony Tran of Lumanu summed it up perfectly: 'My pitch is always why, what, how, and why now?' Guess that gets you millions while we mere mortals wonder why our emails stay unread. The startup pitch deck is the new battleground for million-dollar delusions.

The future is copying rich influencers’ stock moves while AI makes your viral videos. Meanwhile, I’m here wondering if my LinkedIn pitch deck can pay my rent. Spoiler: it can’t. We’re all terrible drivers of our own investments.
Turns out you don’t need talent; just a pitch deck and a $30M VC check to pretend you’re an influencer. Next up: startups letting you copy famous TikTok dances... for $50M.
Dub lets you mirror influencer trades — because blindly following people you barely trust is the 2025 investment strategy. I’m just stuck copying bad lunch choices.
