CurrentDesk Closes Funding Round, Turns Focus to Client On-Boarding

Necessitated by strong and growing client demand for its products, CurrentDesk, a leader in brokerage management and trading operations software, has completed its first funding round, taking an undisclosed amount of growth capital from unnamed private sources. The capital will support the company’s focus on timely client on-boarding, as well as ongoing product development and integration of technology partners.

CurrentDesk remains well-positioned at the center of a multi-year trend of fragmentation in the online brokerage space. With multiple new brokerages launching each month, operators demand cutting-edge, independent software solutions that support growth and automation. Travis Dahm, co-founder and Director of Business Development, noted, “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.” 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.”

Berkshire Capital, a leading global boutique investment bank, advised CurrentDesk on the transaction. Multiple individuals from Shift Forex, an industry consultancy, also serve as registered representatives of Berkshire Capital, and were involved in the transaction. While CurrentDesk has no plans for additional funding rounds, the company remains open to discussions with strategic partners and investors.
