“We have long admired what ASP is building and see many parallels to our own mission, which is to make public markets work for all people,” said Kate Perry, B2B’s GM and Editorial at Public. “ASP has taken on an important challenge to demystify what’s happening in DC so people can be more informed and engaged as voters. Similarly, the public began with a focus on financial literacy, and we believe in the importance of providing insight and context to the investment experience.”
“ASP was created to make information about government and politics accessible to all Americans. At a time when the economy is top of mind for voters and lawmakers alike, we’re excited to partner with the public to bring our audience a focused track of content around the fiscal year. And fiscal policy,” said Kaylin Minton, Senior Vice President at A Starting Point. “This partnership is designed around our shared commitment to the democratization of information and will provide resources and education on issues that directly impact our community as well as millions of retail investors through Public’s platform.”
