Tradefluence launches market advice platform for retail traders
Overview
Our app provides a subscription-based model that gives retail traders the opportunity to learn from seasoned industry experts. We believe Tradefluence has the potential to be the go-to companion app for every brokerage, giving users exclusive insight on how to maximize their trades. Our platform is both transparent and user-friendly, providing proven track records that keep financial influencers accountable to traders, and making it easy to both publish and receive trade signals.
Our board of investors and advisors has decades of collective experience in marketplaces, fintech, and AI, having worked with companies like Flipkart, Tiger Global, EWM Global, and UBS.
With 20,000+ accounts currently using the app, our user base is continuously growing at a rate of over 60% month over month, as we gear up for the next phase of expansion!

The Problem
There is growing consumer demand for actionable trading advice, with ⅓ of all US stock market trades being retail --up 15% from 2020 (source). In our opinion, traditional analysts and social media platforms have failed to be of much practical help, leaving a gap in the market for an app that helps retail traders take their stock picks to the next level.
The Solution
Tradefluence matches retail traders with financial influencers on the app, or “Tradefluencers'' as we call them. The app is free to use, although Tradefluencers have the option to monetize access to their lucrative trade signals. This allows both parties to profit.
Tradefluencers are incentivized by the opportunity to earn income and compete with their peers, while traders are incentivized by lucrative trade signals from verified Tradefluencers.
Our financial influencers can set their own subscription rates and Tradefluence takes 20% of all in-app purchases. We will also receive additional revenue from retail trader sentiment, ads, data feeds, and sponsored Tradefluencer exposure.
THE Market
Our total addressable market is worth an annual value of $21 billion, made up of over 100 million retail traders in the US alone (source). Our serviceable addressable market is worth $4.2 billion annually, while our target market is worth $2.4 billion annually (source). We are currently reaching our target market through our social channels, digital ads, app store optimization, referrals, growth hacking, targeted outreach, and word of mouth.
There is a major learning curve when it comes to being a retail trader and we know how challenging it can be for traders to find helpful online investor groups. Although it can be advantageous to follow successful traders on social media, it is unlikely that followers will get an actual glimpse of their portfolio performance. Unlike these resources, the Tradefluence app allows traders to receive, real-time buy and sell signals with clear entry and exit prices from proven experts for a monthly subscription fee.
our traction
The Tradefluence app currently has over 20,000 users with 15% WoW new user growth and monthly recurring revenue of $23,000.
Tradefluence has been through 2 beta testing phases and is now available for IOS, as we prepare to launch our Android and standalone Web apps. We currently have over 20,000 users and the feedback from our users has been overwhelmingly positive thus far, earning us numerous 5-star reviews.
WHY INVEST
We are currently in the process of developing our standalone Web app and Android app. By the third quarter of this year, we intend to have AI-augmentation available for Tradefluencers on our platform, which will recommend a sell price when generating a signal. We also intend to have crypto signal support, NFT signal support, and sportsbook signal support available by the fall of 2022.
The majority of funds from this seed round will go toward research and new innovation, as well as marketing and branding, while the remaining 20% will be used for hiring and payroll, as we expand our team.
Our team has a proven track record of success in the fintech and investment industries, and our board of investors and advisors has collectively spent decades working in trade marketplaces, fintech, and AI. With a fast-growing, loyal user base, we believe Tradefluence has the potential to be the go-to companion app for every brokerage, allowing users to receive exclusive insight on how to maximize their trades.
We hope you will join us and become a part of what we believe is the newest, most exciting innovation in fintech!
