New York, NY - September 3, 2024 - The story of Quasar Markets exemplifies the power of extraordinary teamwork in building a groundbreaking financial services platform, launched with the ambition to become the "Amazon of finance".
This ambitious journey began when Steven E. Orr, CEO and Founder of Quasar Markets, after having built financial technologies at several companies, identified a strong gap in what today’s retail trader needs, leading the launch and rapid growth of Quasar Markets.
Steven met Rakesh Gupta, CEO and Founder of KiwiTech, who helped accelerate the development of Quasar Markets. Steven assembled a team of brilliant technology and business specialists, including Alexander Ferguson, Peter Thomas, Howard Greenberg, Oliver Kellman, Ed Crowley, Clifton Sellers, Paul Villella, and Scott Bauer.
The team’s vision is to build a cutting-edge financial market research platform that leverages artificial intelligence (AI), Web3 technology, and provides a comprehensive suite of services and data aggregation from reputable sources. Tailored to both institutional and retail traders, Quasar Markets offers personalized, data-driven financial solutions starting at $15 per month.
Steven is a seasoned entrepreneur with a passion for integrating technology into financial services who brings three decades of experience in finance, trading and technology and has had a stellar career in strategic leadership roles. Before establishing Quasar Markets, Steven was the Chief Strategy Officer and Senior Vice President at Money.Net and was instrumental in delivering successful products, thus democratizing access to financial information. Earlier, Steven was the Senior Vice President of Benzinga. In addition to his roles in the financial sector, he has a diverse background with experience working for the White House, the U.S. State Department, PGA Tour, NBA and various pro sports from the technology sector. He regularly shares his insights on networks such as Schwab Network.
Steven has an eye for hiring top talent and brought in Alexander Ferguson as a CIO to develop the informational architecture of Quasar Markets and the AI platform. Alexander has decades in building government technologies, such as developing the architecture of FAA's global network and authoring global IT Strategic Plans for a Cabinet Level Agency while directing $1.6+ Billion of worldwide annual spend from 2011 - 2016.
Steven says that “the superb data architecture of Quasar Markets and unparalleled leadership make the platform stand out to customers and partners.”
On the business side, Peter Thomas, Howard Greenberg, and Oliver Kellman have brought in experience in trading and education, metals trading and finance, and operations in the government sector and helped develop and prioritize the launch of different elements of the platform. Steven assembled a sophisticated board of directors, including Tyler Wood, Scott Bauer, Robert Koester, Adrienne O’Hare, and an advisory board, including Paul Villella, Ryan Spillaine, Rep Burks, John Zapel, and Sharmila Biswas. Rakesh became the chairman of the board of Quasar Markets.
Acceleration in the development of the Quasar Markets began when Steven and Rakesh connected at a financial technology conference and realized that they shared a mutual vision to revolutionize the financial services landscape with AI.
"From our very first conversation, I knew Rakesh and KiwiTech would be instrumental in the development of Quasar Markets," said Steven. KiwiTech provided a technology team of experts to help develop a robust platform. This collaboration focused on creating a seamless, user-centric portal that centralizes access to a myriad of financial services. From information on stocks and commodities to crypto and real estate, Quasar Markets has built a comprehensive ecosystem for both institutional and retail traders.
In the fragmented world of finance, Quasar Markets stands out by integrating data from 15,000+ diverse sources like EDGAR, FRED, NASDAQ, United Nations, World Bank, IMF, US Treasury, World Economic Forum, Congress.gov, USDA, global stock exchanges, sports, weather, and many others. The platform's AI algorithms meticulously sift through this data, providing users with actionable insights and personalized financial solutions. Harnessing the power of advanced data analysis and AI not only saves traders countless hours in data aggregation but also ensures precision in decision-making.
Steven and his team mentioned that "Our partnership with KiwiTech has enabled us to rapidly build many elements of the platform to deliver a level of personalization and efficiency in financial services that was previously unattainable."
The platform had its soft launch in February 2024, making an immediate impact in the fintech space. The initial user feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with users praising the platform's intuitive design, comprehensive data integration, and AI-driven insights.
In 2023, Quasar Markets won the Benzinga Fintech Award as “Best AI Research Platform”.
Since its launch, Quasar Markets has made significant strides in engaging users and maintaining long-term platform sustainability. The platform continuously evolves, incorporating new products and services to meet the dynamic needs of the financial industry.
The new release on August 26, 2024, has provided users with additional features and a new design.
Users are rapidly signing up, and the feedback has been extremely positive.
In addition to desktop, Quasar Markets can now be viewed in Oculus, Apple Vision Pro, watch, mobile, etc. without the need of an app.
Quasar Markets is expanding internationally and already has several versions in different languages.
The next expansion will include the education segment, where users can access leading educators in finance and other curriculums.
Quasar Markets also offers partners bespoke solutions for their technologies, such as website, platform, AI, etc.
Reflecting on the company’s journey, Steven remarked, "Our success so far is a testament to the power of the collaboration between the Quasar Markets team and KiwiTech. We are committed to setting new standards in personalized and data-driven financial services."
Quasar Markets is not just a platform, it is a movement towards a more integrated, AI-driven future in finance. With a steadfast commitment to innovation, Quasar Markets is poised to reshape the financial landscape, offering unprecedented opportunities for traders and financial service providers.
