3. How it all started
Financial Traders want to
chat:
Exchange trading ideas
Discuss about market
Get educated

4. Let me explain the problem...
Can't do webinars
from within chat
Payments for
premium content
must be processed
with external third-
party vendors
No market specific
chat platform = lack
of financial widgets
Service fragmentation = Bad user experience + Inneficient service management
