PRODUCT/SERVICE DESCRIPTION
SimFin (‘Simplifying Finance’) is a platform for fundamental financial data of listed companies. Our mission is to give private investors the same resources that are accessible to professional investors. All our data is presented in an accessible format and downloadable for free.
DIFFERENTIATORS VS. THE COMPETITION
The key competitors of our product are Bloomberg, FactSet and Capital IQ, all of which are very expensive and mainly used by professionals. Our other competitors are Google Finance and Yahoo Finance, both of which are not reliable and not user friendly; furthermore, their data is often sourced from Bloomberg or FactSet just with only limited access for private users. Our solution is superior because we offer a space where users can share and interact with this data, allowing free and easy access due to a crowdsourced solution.
FOUNDERS’ STORY

Maximilian Czymoch, co-founder of SimFin, studied a BSc. in Economics and Statistics at University College London and a master’s in Finance and a master’s in Management at IE Business School.
