Dubai, United Arab Emirates & Dubai, UAE - Oct 24 2025

QuantaGain and FasterCapital today announced a strategic partnership through FasterCapital’s Equitypilot program to accelerate the market rollout of QuantaGain’s AI-driven quant trading platform (who) effective immediately (when), targeting global liquid markets with an initial focus on gold and GCC/EM trading venues (where), to capitalize on the surge in algorithmic trading and unmet low-risk alpha demand (why) via co-development, market access and capital support (how).

Market opportunity & problem statement

Global markets have shifted: algorithmic strategies now account for over 90% of trading volume, yet many retail and mid-size institutional investors lack access to hedge‑fund‑grade AI strategies. Market pain points include fragmented execution, high latency data stacks, and limited access to disciplined, risk‑managed quant strategies. QuantaGain targets liquid metals and FX corridors where predictable microstructure and volatility regimes create repeatable, low‑risk opportunities a clear white space versus manual traders and legacy quant providers.

Startup solution & differentiation

QuantaGain delivers a proprietary 4‑tier trading architecture: live market data ingestion, AI signal generation, backend order orchestration and broker execution. The platform focuses on low‑risk, high‑Sharpe day‑trading strategies for gold and other liquid instruments, backed by two years of live performance and reported annual returns above 50%. QuantaGain combines rigorous quant research, continuous backtesting and real‑time risk controls. Differentiators include hedge‑fund comparable strategy design, integrated execution with direct broker connectivity, and a compact capital‑efficient product suite suitable for day traders and allocators seeking institutional AI sophistication.

The partnership is designed to accelerate broker integrations, expand market reach and support a targeted capital raise and investor introductions over the next 6–12 months.
