UAE-based fintech Epic Markets has raised $10 million in a pre-Seed funding round from Karatage, the round's sole investor, to develop a multi-asset brokerage platform for retail investors.

Founded in 2026 by Kevin Kimmel and Brian Seegers, Epic Markets is building a brokerage platform that brings institutional-grade trade execution and professional trading infrastructure to individual investors across multiple asset classes.

The fresh capital will support product development and platform expansion as the company aims to narrow the gap between the trading experience available to institutional clients and that offered to retail investors.
