Public buys Otis, bringing fractional ownership of alternative assets to its platform

The mix of product and corporate decisions appears to be working for Public, at least in terms of leading indicators. According to co-CEO Leif Abraham, Public now has 3m users. The company also announced this morning that it has purchased Otis, a startup that allows consumers to buy and trade fractional shares in individual alternative assets.

Otis calls itself the “stock market for culture,” which is a pretty good tagline as far as such things go. The company’s service scaled to 100,000 users, per Karnjanaprakorn, and 125 listed assets before it sold to Public.
