UAE-Based Fintech Epic Markets Raises $10 Million Pre-Seed Round
Backed by Karatage, Epic Markets aims to bring institutional-grade trading infrastructure to individual investors.
UAE-based fintech Epic Markets has raised $10 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Karatage, which participated as the company's sole investor.
Founded in 2026 by Kevin Kimmel and Brian Seegers, Epic Markets is developing a multi-asset brokerage platform designed to bring institutional-grade trade execution and professional trading infrastructure to retail investors.
The company said the funding will support product development and platform expansion while accelerating work on its technology ahead of its market launch. The platform is being built with integrated multi-asset functionality aimed at improving trade execution across different asset classes.
The investment marks Epic Markets' first disclosed funding round and establishes Karatage as the company's first institutional investor.
As retail investing continues to grow globally, Epic Markets said it is focused on narrowing the gap between the trading tools and execution quality available to institutional investors and those offered to individual traders.
