Otta's take

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Alpaca offers a developer-first API for stock trading. It enables companies to offer short-stock trading both worldwide and competitively commission-free across various programming languages. Within one year of launch Alpaca facilitated over $1 billion in transactions.

This is impressive, but not surprising. Fintech apps that facilitate stock trading on a level previously inaccessible to retail investors are on the rise. Alpaca puts this software within reach of companies who may previously have lacked the ability or the tech to do so. However, competition is growing, both from existing competitors like Interactive Brokers and Robinhood and robustly funded startups like Galileo and DriveWealth.

Alpaca now has the funding, including a round of convertible debt financing, available to scale its offering to larger businesses, and is looking further afield to work with international customers to earn income from foreign exchange fees. Whilst competition is strong in stock-trading APIs, casting their net wide could win Alpaca a head start.
