Freetrade

Freetrade is a next-generation investment tech startup, bringing free stock investing to the UK and Europe for the first time ever.

We’ve built a beautiful investing app to trade in real shares, with zero commissions or fees in a fluid, mobile-first experience.

As the first challenger stockbroker to disrupt the £1.2 trillion UK retail investment market, we’re poised to expand into Europe in 2021, with work already underway. With a Series A funding round led by Draper Esprit and our summer 2020 crowdfunding round in which we raised £7m, our total funding exceeds £24m.

We use serverless technologies such as Firebase, Cloud Composer, and Stackdriver, to build a reliable and performant platform with a small but growing team. We use the real-time database, cloud functions and other features like pub/sub to provide a frictionless investment platform. We’re language-agnostic, as we’re focused on finding amazing engineering talent who are passionate about what they do.

Mission: Get everyone investing!

It's one of the best ways to grow your savings, but for a lot of people, investing seems complicated, expensive and remote. We're changing all of that!
