The founding story

I have been involved with stocks for over 30 years and have experienced many highs and lows on the stock markets during this time – from the bursting of the dot-com bubble to the 2008 financial crisis. These experiences have shown me how difficult it is to make sound investment decisions.

In parallel, I worked for over 30 years in the innovation department of a large international software company. There, the daily task was to solve complex problems simply and scalably using technology.

This combination gave rise to the idea for TransparentShare: a system that structures, objectively and automatically evaluates stocks.

What began as a simple Excel spreadsheet evolved, in collaboration with a developer, into an app that I initially used exclusively for my personal investments. After many friends encouraged me to make the app available to other investors, we launched TransparentShare in January 2019.

From the outset, it was important to me that TransparentShare was also legally compliant. Therefore, TransparentShare has been registered with the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) since 2018 in the list of independent providers of investment recommendations.

The team

TransparentShare is backed by a small, dedicated team that has worked together successfully for many years. This stability and the trust within our team are key factors in our success, and something we are particularly proud of. Together, we combine expertise in technology, product development, and financial analysis with a passion for making complex topics understandable for investors.

In addition to the core team, we are supported by other key individuals who significantly contribute to the success of TransparentShare: Steffen, Felix, Paul, and Philipp. This close collaboration has fostered a strong network over the years, which continuously works on the further development of TransparentShare.
