Financial forecasting startup Springbox AI launches its apps and raises $2M

Springbox AI, an AI-powered financial forecasting application designed to replace financial market investment service and aimed at the average financial markets trader, has launched on iOS and Android.

It’s been built by a team of founders who previously worked at Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, UBS and BNP Paribas. It’s so far raised $2 million in funding from private investors in Europe.

The app costs $49 a month, and includes a range of tools, including market forecasting; live market screening of stocks, forex and futures markets; and trading news.

Springbox AI co-founder Kassem Lahham said: "Most brokers focus their marketing by selling investors the dream or the myth of easy money, resulting in 96% of self-traders losing money and quitting. Using Springbox AI, traders will have access to an app that will help them succeed, focused on the data.”

Springbox competes with trading apps like eToro, but eToro focuses on social trading and following a strong investor from the community. Springbox is designed for slightly more sophisticated traders, say the founders.
