CoinQuant's profile
Mission
To give every trader, from the retail investor to the institutional quant shop, access to the same AI-powered, no-code strategy infrastructure that was previously available only to the largest players in financial markets.
Vision
To become the global standard for AI-driven trading strategy research, making no-code quantitative tools the default rather than the exception across all asset classes and all market participants.
How it began
1) When Maen Ftouni tried to build an automated crypto fund, he discovered that the institutional-grade tools available in the market were built for a world that no longer existed and offered nothing useful for a modern quant-driven approach.
2) The gap between what large banks and hedge funds could do algorithmically and what individual traders and small funds had access to was not a matter of complexity. It was a matter of infrastructure that simply had not been built for them.
3) Ftouni had the engineering background from Oracle and the trading experience from years of algorithmic experimentation across bonds, equities, options, and crypto. He decided to build the tools instead of the fund.
How it's going
1) Launched on January 6, 2026 with a free tier and hit 5,000 users in under 30 days against an internal expectation of fewer than 1,000.
2) Voted Best Startup to Invest In at the Global Blockchain Congress 2025 by more than 120 institutional investors from a pool of competing companies.
3) Has raised $2 million in SAFE notes from angel investors since inception, with funds approaching the company for white-label infrastructure deals beyond the original B2C model.
