Securing the future

Building up reserves and saving toward goals (e.g. retirement).

Mental wellbeing

Freedom from financial stress and worry; a sense of security.

Our mission

Using new technology to improve our users' financial wellness

Financial planning is boring - that's the consensus among younger generations. And yet most still want to take charge of it themselves. We want to use technological progress like artificial intelligence to bridge that gap.

Automated and democratized

In-person professional financial planning is expensive and out of reach for most young customers. Artificial intelligence offers an effective way to make it accessible to more people.

Not gray, but colorful

We want financial planning to be fun and motivating, from the first quick wins all the way to long-term planning and security.

Help people help themselves

Charts, numbers, and information are a start, but they don't bridge the gap to actually taking action. Pigtie aims to not just share knowledge, but also help you act on it in the same place.

Tailored to you

Financial planning is personal. AI opens up new ways to build plans that fit your individual life situation.

Our team

We're a small team from Munich with one dream: making finance accessible for everyone.

Bingeing YouTube videos, working through ETF books, building spreadsheets, keeping the household budget up to date every day … I know from experience how hard it is to get a handle on all the financial jargon on your own and to keep building your finances in a continuous, structured way.
