Our take
Though stock trading is a growing market, the European market has historically lacked the required tech and infrastructure required for companies to implement brokerage offerings into their systems. Enter lemon.markets, a next-generation API-first solution for stock trading which enables developers to build their own investment and trading tools from a single, easy-to-use API platform.
Bridging the gap between European tech firms and functional stock market trading capabilities, the company’s infrastructure enables full management of brokerage accounts, and easy retrieval of historical and real-time market data, all through a simple dashboard or mobile app.
After securing one of 2022’s largest seed funding rounds in Europe, which was co-led by Lakestar and Lightspeed, lemon.markets is focusing its efforts on becoming a regulated brokerage provider, furthering product development, and deepening its core partnerships. The young company is well-positioned to see substantial growth as it extends its capabilities and cutting-edge infrastructure.
