Hello Product Hunt Community 👋
I’m Sean Tepper, the Founder and CEO of Tykr.
My team and I are excited to officially launch the new Tykr mobile app (iOS and Android)!
Tykr helps beginners as well as advanced investors, confidently manage their own investments.
If you want to know…
• What stocks to look for
• What stocks to avoid
• When to buy
• When to sell
• How to reduce risk
• How to confidently invest on your own
Then Tykr is perfect for you!
To back up for a second and provide a quick backstory on Tykr…
In 2011 I began my investing journey. At that time, I found it nearly impossible to know where to start (If you’re a beginner, don’t worry, you’re not alone!). I also found it confusing to know the difference between a GOOD stock and a BAD stock. There is a lot of bad advice on YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, etc and it’s hard to know what to look for and what to avoid. Fortunately, I found the teachings of Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, and Phil Town to be very helpful.
In 2015 I started working on an Excel sheet and I wanted to gamify this sheet with a point system between 0 and 100. 0 being a weak stock and 100 being a strong stock. That would allow me to truly know what stocks to look for and what stocks to avoid.
Between 2016 and 2019 my annual returns ranged between 15% and 50%. As Warren, Charlie, and Phil teach us, we should aim for more than 15% per year. In other words, the Excel sheet worked!
In 2019 I shared the Excel sheet with a few beginners as well as experienced investors and their response was “When are you going to turn this into a software platform to share with others?” At that moment I decided to move forward with the idea and it took about one year to build the first version.
In 2020, Tykr went live as a web app.
In 2024, Tykr now has over 9,000 customers in over 50 countries and we’re proud to say our Trustpilot score is a 4.9/5.0.

Love the app!! I’m excited to watch you grow your platform. Making smart trades based on your data.
I've been using Tykr web for the last two years, and it's really helped me make a profit. I recently downloaded the Tykr mobile app, and I think it's really cool. The mobile app is a great companion to the web app, and it speeds up my investment process. If you're an investor, I highly recommend giving Tykr a try.
Tykr is a great platform to find stocks that are priced attractively i.e., stocks on sale on any day. I've been a user for several months and like the wide coverage of US and International stocks incuding European and Asian markets.
Tykr has been a gamechanger for me, and the new app is amazing, the team behind it are doing a killer job of bringing new features fast. It helped me make my first few investments with confidence.
Sean has been building an incredible software and sharing so much value over the last few years it is just incredible. He deserves all the support for the great value not only of the app, but as a person and entrepreneur.
Been a user from the beginning and it's easily the best investment software 8ve ever used! Provides valuable insight and information!
One of the Ms of investment is Management. I will say one of the first attractive the feature of the Tykr brand is the owner.
Secondly, it is about the product. Tyke was product that assisted me to have an idea what to look for in the stock market. Before then I do not look at stocks.
I can say for certain that it is a very useful tool.
DO you know that the owner runs a free Youtube channel that picks a stock and use tykr and the 4 M principle and analyze stocks? There is so much value from the community and I hope the brand gets all the awareness it needs to compete with bigger tools out there.
