What Pluto.markets does
Technology is a massive enabler for stock market participation. This was the case when the phone, the internet and apps were invented granting access for more people. For 100m Europeans living in countries without the Euro however, there has been no innovation for the past 30 years. High commissions, clunky interface, high minimum amounts and a brand that speaks to the few. We are on a mission to drive financial inclusion by bridging the innovation gap for the overlooked regions of the EU.

Modern Investment Product for 100m underserved Europeans
We built an investment platform tailored specifically for Europeans living outside the Eurozone. It solves problems like high commissions, outdated interfaces, and high minimum investment amounts, which have blocked participation for decades. Our product lowers those barriers and creates a better user experience focused on regions ignored by current providers.
We live and work in Copenhagen, Denmark. After YC, we plan to keep the company based in Copenhagen.
Copenhagen is where we are all located and know the market deeply. The region's mix of fintech talent and proximity to the underserved Europeans we target makes it the best base for our company.
