Anchor wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born out of frustration, several dozen spreadsheets, and the realization that Romanian investors deserve better tools.
Like most investors in Romania, we started with local brokers and high-fee mutual funds. We spent nights reading prospectuses, trying to understand why our "10% gain" felt much smaller after fees and taxes.
We moved to ETFs and diversified. But our data was everywhere: one broker for BVB, another for US stocks, and a Google Sheet trying (and failing) to calculate real-time net worth with currency swings.
"Checking my net worth shouldn't feel like a part-time job."
Then came the tax season. Calculating capital gains across three currencies with different local tax rules was the breaking point. We were building a portfolio for freedom, but we were slaves to the data.
Custom Python scripts scraping PDF statements into Excel. It worked, but it was fragile.
No more manual math. No more broken spreadsheets. We've automated the struggle so you can focus on what actually matters: your future.
