The Mission

Our Story

Anchor didn't start in a boardroom. It started with spreadsheets, late nights, and one simple realization: Romanian investors deserve better tools.

Outgrowing the Tools

We diversified with ETFs. But our data was everywhere: one broker for BVB, another for US stocks, plus a Google Sheet trying (and failing) to keep up with FX moves and real-time net worth.

Custom Python scripts scraping PDF statements into Excel. It worked — until it didn't.
