– Thndr, Egypt’s leading investment platform, hosted the country’s first-ever fintech product keynote — “El Qessa Betkabr – A Bigger Story to Tell” — a debut event that gathered over 300 of its top users to unveil major milestones shaping the future of investing in the region. The event spotlighted the closing of a $15.7 million Series A funding round, the hero reveal of ThndrX, a professional-grade trading platform; the announcement of Thndr’s asset management license application — a step toward delivering Grade-A investing experiences; and the launch of Thndr Alpha, a guided investing feature for everyday individuals.
Led by CEO Ahmad Hammouda and the Thndr leadership team, the event brought together users, partners, and industry leaders to spotlight the company’s newest innovations — each designed to meet the needs of different types of investors.
ThndrX was the biggest announcement of the day — a platform built from the ground up for serious traders. Developed by traders themselves, including Thndr team members, ThndrX introduces advanced tools, speed, and a desktop-first experience tailored for high-frequency users. “This isn’t about hype — it’s about respecting the craft, it is not about pushing them to make trades, it’s about helping them to win,” said Ahmad Hammouda during the keynote. The platform marks a new era for Thndr’s trader community, offering precision, performance, and control.
In a move to bring institutional-grade investing to everyone, the company also announced that it has applied for an asset management license, allowing Thndr to directly create and manage investment products that meet the evolving needs of its users. This marks a major step toward building a wealth management experience that isn’t limited to high-net-worth individuals.
Alongside ThndrX, the team also revealed Thndr Alpha — a product designed to help everyday individuals take their first confident steps into investing. Powered by Rumble, Alpha takes users through with a simple but powerful flow and they receive a tailored starter pack of equities, gold, and fixed income. “A lot of people don’t just want access to investing. They want investing guidance. They want someone to walk them through the journey — clearly and simply. So for us, this isn’t just another feature,” said Hammouda. “It’s the foundation for something much bigger.” Alpha will roll out in phases, with future updates helping users build full investment plans, determine how much to invest and how often, and eventually evolve into a personalized strategy based on what matters most to each user.
The event also featured a live panel discussion with prominent investors including Onsi Sawiris, who commented : “I’m grateful to be here today. I truly believe Thndr is the platform that will drive real change in the investment space. What resonated with me most, is their mission to make investing accessible to everyone. We need to grow — not just as companies, but as a market. The entire ecosystem must expand and offer more diverse financial services.”
He was joined by Ali Mokhtar, CEO of Beltone Venture Capital, who commented: “As individuals, we know our income, our appetite for risk better than anyone. The more products on Thndr, the more empowered every user becomes.” The panel also included Ahmad Hammouda, and Azzam, Chief of Staff at Thndr, in a candid discussion on the future of wealth building in the region.
The event concluded with the announcement of Thndr’s $15.7 million funding round, led by Prosus — a publicly listed company valued at over $100 billion and one of the world’s largest technology investors.The round also included participation from Endeavor Catalyst, JIMCO, BECO Capital, Raba, Y Combinator, and the endowment fund of a world-renowned engineering university. The funding represents a strong vote of confidence in Thndr’s mission and momentum, enabling the company to scale product innovation and regional growth.
As Hammouda concluded, “We’re proud of where we are. But even more excited about where we’re going. Your story, and our story is just getting started, and it’s getting bigger.”
