Heel simpel: omdat we het gezeur en getreur in de financiële wereld meer dan zat waren. De beurs is het mooiste spel op aarde. Althans, dat vinden wij. Dus dachten we: laten we de fun weer terugbrengen in finance, door een app te bouwen die handelen op de beurs heel laagdrempelig en vooral heel leuk maakt. Bovendien: beleggen was vroeger misschien iets voor je vader, maar tegenwoordig zien we dat steeds meer mensen geïnteresseerd raken in al die nieuwe, disruptieve technologiebedrijven die aan de beurs genoteerd zijn. Met BUX willen we iedereen de mogelijkheid geven om die wereld te gaan ontdekken door spelenderwijs erin te beleggen. Let’s rock the world of finance!
