Overfunding: All-in-One Investment Analytics Platform Darqube Quickly Secures £300,000 Equity Crowdfunding Target on Seedrs

Darqube, a UK-based all-in-one investing, analytics, automated trading, and secure messaging platform, has quickly secured its initial £300,000 equity crowdfunding campaign target on Seedrs. Founded in 2019, Darqube’s mission is to equip everyone, from novice to experienced investors, with the cutting-edge technology and insights they need to make better and smarter investment decisions.

“We believe that the tools available for retail investors are insufficient for making qualified decisions, while professional platforms used by financial institutions are too expensive. Also, algorithms are believed to be responsible for around 80% of trades in the financial markets. Thus, to generate profits consistently as Wall Street tycoons, it’s our view that retail investors need to be equipped with institutional-grade analytical, risk management, research and trading tools.”
