In 1999, three students at the University of Karlsruhe built a free stock market platform because they couldn't afford the data they needed to invest. Twenty-five years later, Finanzen.net is Germany's number one financial media and investing platform, with 6 million monthly users, a free neobroker, and an ambitious vision to become the leading investment and savings platform across the DACH region. 📈
In this episode, co-founder Jens Ohr joins Inflexion Partner and Head of Financial Services Andrea Bertolini and host Tim Smallbone to tell that story, including the 2025 carve-out from Axel Springer that gave the business its independence. They explore why only one in five Germans invests in the stock market and how that is changing fast, what made Finanzen.net stand out to Inflexion, and how you find the right partner for a business you've spent 25 years building. Jens and Andrea also share why the ambition from here is to become the home for every investor across the DACH region.
