The gap between professional traders and everyday retail investors is finally starting to narrow in the Middle East. 

Epic Markets, a UAE-based fintech startup, has secured a $10 million pre-seed funding round backed entirely by Karatage. 

Founded by Kevin Kimmel and Brian Seegers, the company is developing a multi-asset brokerage platform designed to give individual investors direct access to institutional-grade trading tools and execution speeds. Historically, this level of infrastructure, execution, and data was reserved exclusively for large financial institutions and hedge funds, leaving retail traders at a distinct disadvantage. 

Epic Markets plans to use the new capital to accelerate product development and scale its engineering team. 

By bringing professional-grade trading technology directly to retail accounts, the platform aims to level the playing field for individual investors across the MENA region. 

Do you think access to institutional-grade execution speed and tools actually improves results for retail traders, or does it simply encourage more frequent, risky trading?
