Description Build a web app that monitors European corporate-action sources (dpa-AFX, EQS/Newsfile, company IR pages, Bundesanzeiger) for share-buyback programs, public tender offers and special dividends, then scores each event for retail investability: spread vs market price, premium, deadline, liquidity, oversubscription risk.

Tech stack: Python/FastAPI backend, Celery for scheduled scraping, PostgreSQL, React/Next.js frontend, deployed with Docker on a VPS (Hetzner/AWS) with Vercel for frontend. MVP scope: German DAX/MDAX/SDAX stocks, daily digest, simple screener. Launch sequence: (1) manual weekly digest to validate demand, (2) automated scraper + screener, (3) premium alerts. Monetization: freemium — free delayed alerts; EUR 19-49/month premium for real-time alerts, calculator and export. Comply with EU rules by adding a disclaimer that it is information, not investment advice.
Monetization SaaS subscriptions (EUR 19-49/month or EUR 190-490/year), affiliate broker referrals, optional B2B API for fintechs at EUR 99-499/month.
