The Evolution of Kurskontrolle: From Single App to Technology Company

Kurskontrolle began as the name of our first iOS application for value investors. Over time, that product evolved — and so did the company behind it. Today, Kurskontrolle operates as an independent technology company, while our original investment app continues under a new name: Investiqal.

Company and Product: What Changes and What Stays

The company name Kurskontrolle remains unchanged. What changes is the scope of what we build. While our early focus was exclusively on a single stock analysis app, we now develop data-driven digital systems across multiple domains.

Investiqal represents the next generation of our investment analytics platform — rebuilt with a scalable architecture and designed for long-term growth.

From Screening Tool to Investment Platform

Kurskontrolle launched as an iOS application inspired by Joel Greenblatt’s value investing principles. Its goal was simple: make fundamental stock screening accessible and intuitive.

Over time, it became clear that investors need more than isolated screening metrics. They want to understand how strategies perform over time, how portfolios evolve, and how decisions translate into long-term outcomes.

Investiqal expands this foundation into a comprehensive analytics platform that integrates screening, portfolio tracking and structured performance evaluation within a modern, scalable architecture.

Why a New Architecture Was Necessary

The original Kurskontrolle app served as a strong proof of concept. However, its architecture and branding were designed for a focused niche product — not for a platform built to grow across features, data sources and integrations.

Investiqal is not a simple rebranding. It is a technical and strategic rebuild designed to process significantly larger financial datasets, enable advanced analytics and support future integrations such as broker connectivity, AI-driven screening and backtesting.

The Road Ahead

Our ambition is to build Investiqal into a professional-grade investment analytics environment for private investors — starting in Germany and expanding beyond.

The focus lies on clarity, scalability and meaningful data insights, not feature overload. Every component is built to support informed, long-term decision-making.
