Who we are 🔎

Shares was built to help our users invest smarter.

Shares is not only a powerful investment platform, but a place for investors to build a better financial future. Inside the app users can invest in over 1,500 US stocks (plus ETFs and crypto in France) and get insights from fellow investors to make smarter investment decisions.

Since launching in the UK in summer 2022, hundreds of thousands of users have downloaded our app, we’ve enlisted the Williams Sisters as Global Brand Ambassadors, and launched across Europe. 

We’re backed by top tier venture capital firms based in the US and Europe, having secured $40M at Series A at the start of 2022 and another $40M at Series B in July 2022.
