About 5AM Scoop
Why I built this
I invest my own money in stocks and ETFs, follow the markets every morning, and kept running into the same problem: getting up to speed on what had happened overnight meant opening my brokerage app, a news site, maybe two more tabs — and still ending up with a scattered picture of what moved and why, with no sense of how a central bank decision or a geopolitical event connected to what I was seeing in my portfolio.
What I wanted was a single email that arrived before the exchanges open, covered exactly the stocks I hold or watch, explained any significant moves in plain language, and gave me enough market context to start the day informed. I couldn't find that. So I built it. It is free and bilingual — available in English and German.
The founder

My name is Matthias Mayrock. I'm a software engineer and retail investor based in Germany. I founded 5AM Scoop in 2025.
The Scooper
The Scooper is the AI behind your briefing. Every night it researches the financial news for every security on your watchlist, writes the market editorial, picks the top story of the day, and has everything ready by 5 AM.
Think of it as a research assistant with one brief: what moved, why, and what it means for your holdings — in plain language. If nothing meaningful drove a move, the summary is skipped.
