Our story

The ARESS path, wave by wave

2023
ARESS is born

ARESS began with one simple idea: build a product that is both beautiful and useful. That same year the base design system took shape, the brand's visual identity was built, and the first team came together to lay the groundwork for everything we are today.

2024
Taking root

The year the sparks turned into movement. The team grew, the focus on user experience and interface got serious, and the first real steps in front-end and back-end development were taken. The product moved off paper and became something live and growing.

2025
Growth and branching out

ARESS went from a single core to a family of products. ARESS Terminal and ARESS Investor came to life on both the front end and the back end, the company began the process of increasing its capital, and the interface and experience of the subsidiaries were completed so that every product matched the parent brand in weight and in form.

2026
The next wave

ARESS has now turned to the future. This year the focus is on new technologies and artificial intelligence, to make the products smarter, faster and more personal. The next wave starts here.

Our team

Behind every figure there is a team

A team of analysts, engineers and capital market specialists who turn data into decisions.
