ABOUT THNDR

Thndr is on a mission to make investing simple and accessible for everyone across the Middle East and North Africa. Since launching in 2019 and going through Y Combinator shortly after, we have grown into Egypt's number one investing app, with millions of people putting their money to work in stocks, gold, mutual funds, and more, many of them investing for the very first time.

We are licensed by Egypt's Financial Regulatory Authority and are a member of the Egyptian Exchange. In 2024 we expanded into the UAE under an ADGM license, and in 2025 we became the first remote retail trading member of the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. That same year, the World Economic Forum named us a Technology Pioneer, the only Egyptian company alongside Apple, Google, Dropbox, and others. In 2026, The Financial Times named us the fastest growing company in Africa. We are backed by investors including Tiger Global, Prosus Ventures, BECO Capital, and Y Combinator, and we are only getting started.

THE TEAM YOU WOULD JOIN

Today, roughly 40% of all transactions on the Egyptian Exchange flow through Thndr. Behind almost everything a user sees or relies on is market data, and the Feed team owns it. Live and delayed prices, statistics, charts, and asset data across every market we operate in all flow through systems we build and run.

We ingest data from different providers, sometimes multiple per market, and expose it to the rest of Thndr through a single, unified feed. Nearly everything downstream depends on it: the live prices users watch, the alerts we fire when something moves, and the limit orders that execute off the numbers we serve. Our users range from first-time investors making a decision about where to put their money, to technical traders who need immediate, actionable insights. Every millisecond matters. When a price arrives late or wrong, it is not a cosmetic bug, it is real money for real people acting on information that has to arrive on time, every time...
