Thndr was founded with the dream to democratize access to investing through smart tech and human design, which is just a fancy way of saying giving anyone with a smartphone easy access to preserve and grow their wealth. At the same time, we're promoting local investment products to propel the economies that we serve.
History has shown that investing is the single greatest way to build long-term wealth - but before Thndr, only a very small percentage of people had access to investing due to:
High barriers to entry in the form of minimum account balances, brick-and-mortar onboarding, and low financial literacy. Irrelevant experience catered towards traders and financial experts, alienating the majority of the population. Fragmented offerings where investment products are not gathered in a single outlet. On our short journey, we've validated that there is a need for our solution, as illustrated by these key figures:
3 million app downloads $8.8bn in annualized traded value #1 platform in terms of traded value 84% of our users are investing for the first time 65% of our users come from outside of capital cities and have previously had limited access to financial institutions We're proud of how far we've come and the size of our impact in just a few years - but we're just getting started and are excited for what's to come.
It'll take a lot of passion, bold risks, and hard work to fulfill our mission of democratizing investing in MENA and giving everyone an equal opportunity to generate and grow their wealth.
At Thndr, we're looking for people invigorated by our mission, not just those who simply check off all the boxes. We're looking for people that are hungry to become agents of change and that understand the huge responsibility associated with dealing with people's money.
