Our take

In recent years, accessible trading apps have been a key driver behind the democratisation of financial markets. Popular investing has well and truly taken off; with key players in this field including the likes of eToro, ZuluTrade, Ayondo and Tradeo, all of whom fight fiercely for market share.

Traditionally, trading apps have simply been about trading stocks. This may not sound like something which can be disrupted, but Shares is banking on the exact opposite being true. Their product is fundamentally a trading app, but offers something unique: users can carry out social functions, such as live chats, from within the app itself. This combined approach, known as “social trading”, is what sets Shares apart.

Shares has generated impressive funding, including one of Europe's largest ever pre-product seed rounds. These funds will allow the company to continue expansion across Europe and add further social-first community features to its platform. It is also pursuing the launch of a crypto-asset proposition.
