Thndr backstory

Our Backstory

The idea of a modern and seamless investment solution was born out of our co-founders’  experiences with the stock market when they crossed paths working at one of Egypt’s investment banks.

Seif Amr experienced the struggles of trying to open up an investment account first hand while Ahmad Hammouda took notice of the unique investing opportunities available in Egypt inaccessible to most people.

Their vision was to transform the way investing looked like in the region, leveraging technology to affect change and work towards a more modern and inclusive system that works for everyone.
