Your host, Austin LaRoche, talks with the Founder and CEO of Tykr, Sean Tepper. While traditional brokers like Robinhood or TD Ameritrade facilitate the buying and selling of stocks, Tykr addresses a more fundamental challenge: helping investors, especially those new to the market, understand whether a stock is a good investment. With over 40,000 stocks on the platform, Tykr stands out with its educational approach, guiding its users through the investment process with Duolingo-inspired learning modules available on both iOS and Android apps.
At the core of Tykr lies a commitment to education. But what does this educational framework look like? It originated from an Excel sheet Sean crafted over a span of four years, drawing inspiration from Warren Buffett's investment strategies. This sheet, which was instrumental in helping him realize returns ranging from 15 to 50%, was the precursor to Tykr's scoring system. Stocks are evaluated on a scale from 0 to 100, with criteria such as revenue growth, profits, free cash flow, and debt levels. Moreover, their calculations are open source, fostering a culture of transparency and trust within their community.
