In the summer of 2016 FundSeeder was selected to be one of ten global companies to participate in a technology integration and investment program with FIS Global and the VCFintech Accelerator located within and supported by the State of Arkansas. The collaboration project is (and as of the date of this article) remains the only Financial Technology accelerator program providing direct access to FIS Global executives and product channels.

In 2015 FIS purchased leading financial software giant SunGard. The acquisition made FIS Global unquestionably one of the largest financial technology companies in the world. Today the firm boasts over 55,000 global employees and revenue of roughly $9 Billion a year.  FundSeeder was the only firm of the ten selected to represent the brokerage and trading industry. This has afforded the company to explore synergistic technology integration opportunities with some of the industry’s very best and brightest.

For twelve weeks FundSeeder executives were required to live and work in Little Rock, AR. The accelerator program and the relationships it created over this period of time spawned many sweeping changes at FundSeeder.    During this period the company was able to add a variety of new features to its already cutting edge trade tracking software. In addition a library of educational and help resources were developed and subsequently launched for traders that were not previously available.  FundSeeder intends to capitalize on this momentum with regular, continued product updates and improvements throughout the remainder of 2016 and into the future.

Of particular interest to traders is that during the fall of 2016 more time and resources will be devoted to FundSeeder’s sister company FundSeeder Investments. This will mark the first time in FundSeeder Investments company history that active engagement with FundSeeder users has occurred. The following announcements are anticipated to be forthcoming from FundSeeder Investments during the fall of 2016:

• FundSeeder Investments intends to announce its first capital allocations to traders who are utilizing the FundSeeder Technologies software.

• FundSeeder Investments also intends to begin publishing what it is calling “Trader Mandate Alerts” to publicly search for exceptional trading talent. Eligible investors should contact the firm via this link for additional information on how to join the FundSeeder Investments growing investor network.

FundSeeder and FundSeeder Investments looks forward to continued discussions with FIS Global, VC FinTech, as well as the State of Arkansas to improve upon its existing software and product offerings.  The company is grateful for the opportunity this summer and seeks to continue in its mission to help traders grow in as many ways as possible.
