Appearing at last year’s Forex Magnates London Summit, Travis Dahm, CurrentDesk Co-founder and Director of Business Development, presented his firm’s CurrentRisk product during the Elevator Pitch Session. Following the pitch session, Forex Magnates spoke to attendees for feedback on the presentations, of which at the time CurrentRisk garnered fairly positive opinion.
Bringing their products live last year, according to CurrentDesk, the current investment is aimed at growing their sales of the product as they stated in their public comment on the news “The capital will support the company’s focus on timely client on-boarding, as well as ongoing product development and integration of technology partners.” The company added that they have no further plans for additional funding but are “open to discussions with strategic partners and investors.”
Commenting on the investment, Travis Dahm, stated “We are excited that investors have recognized the potential that we and our clients see – as well as the need for modern software solutions to brokerage operations.” Also commenting on the firm’s press release, an investor added “We see strong global demand for software tools that support automation of brokerage functions. CurrentDesk is ideally positioned to capitalize on that demand.”
