Led by CEO Ahmad Hammouda and the Thndr leadership team, the event brought together users, partners, and industry leaders to spotlight the company\u2019s newest innovations \u2014 each designed to meet the needs of different types of investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ThndrX was the biggest announcement of the day \u2014 a platform built from the ground up for serious traders. Developed by traders themselves, including Thndr team members, ThndrX introduces advanced tools, speed, and a desktop-first experience tailored for high-frequency users. \u201cThis isn\u2019t about hype \u2014 it\u2019s about respecting the craft, it is not about pushing them to make trades, it’s about helping them to win,\u201d said Ahmad Hammouda during the keynote. The platform marks a new era for Thndr\u2019s trader community, offering precision, performance, and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a move to bring institutional-grade investing to everyone, the company also announced that it has applied for an asset management license, allowing Thndr to directly create and manage investment products that meet the evolving needs of its users. This marks a major step toward building a wealth management experience that isn\u2019t limited to high-net-worth individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside ThndrX, the team also revealed Thndr Alpha<\/strong> \u2014 a product designed to help everyday individuals take their first confident steps into investing. Powered by Rumble, Alpha takes users through with a simple but powerful flow and they receive a tailored starter pack of equities, gold, and fixed income. \u201cA lot of people don\u2019t just want access to investing. They want investing guidance. They want someone to walk them through the journey \u2014 clearly and simply. So for us, this isn\u2019t just another feature,\u201d said Hammouda. \u201cIt\u2019s the foundation for something much bigger.\u201d Alpha will roll out in phases, with future updates helping users build full investment plans, determine how much to invest and how often, and eventually evolve into a personalized strategy based on what matters most to each user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event also featured a live panel discussion on the future of wealth building in the region, bringing together prominent investors and financial leaders. Onsi Sawiris commented: \u201cI\u2019m grateful to be here today. I truly believe Thndr is the platform that will drive real change in the investment space. What resonated with me most is their mission to make investing accessible to everyone. We need to grow \u2014 not just as companies, but as a market. The entire ecosystem must expand and offer more diverse financial services.\u201d<\/em> He was joined by Ali Mokhtar, CEO of Beltone VC, who added: \u201cAs individuals, we know our income, our appetite for risk better than anyone. The more products on Thndr, the more empowered every user becomes.\u201d  The panel also included Ahmad Hammouda, CEO of Thndr, and Azzam, Chief of Staff at Thndr, in a candid conversation about the opportunities and challenges shaping the next generation of investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event concluded with the announcement of Thndr\u2019s $15.7 million funding round, bringing its total current capital to $37.76 million. The round was led by Prosus \u2014 a publicly listed company valued at over $100 billion and one of the world\u2019s largest technology investors.The round also included participation from Endeavor Catalyst<\/strong>, JIMCO<\/strong>, BECO Capital<\/strong>, Raba<\/strong>, Y Combinator<\/strong>, and the endowment fund of a world-renowned engineering university<\/strong>. The funding represents a strong vote of confidence in Thndr\u2019s mission and momentum, enabling the company to scale product innovation and regional growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Hammouda concluded, \u201cWe\u2019re proud of where we are. But even more excited about where we\u2019re going. Your story, and our story  is just getting started, and it\u2019s getting bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
