About Us
Backing traders with capital, experience, and the support they actually need.
At Upside Funding, we know that trading is about more than just numbers. It’s about mastering discipline, strategy, and the drive to succeed. Founded in 2024 by two former Citigroup Managing Directors, we bring over 60 years of combined trading experience to create a prop firm like no other. We’ve spent decades mentoring traders, watching them grow, and helping them achieve results they never thought possible. Now, we’re here to do the same for you.
Why We Built Upside Funding
Our mission is simple: to give traders the opportunities we wish we had when starting out. After months of breaking down what the top prop firms offer, we realized something big was missing—a true partnership between firm and trader. We’ve seen firsthand how the right mentorship and support can transform a trader’s career, and we’re committed to bringing that same opportunity to traders worldwide.
Upside Funding was built to fill the gap we saw in the industry and to help traders, from beginners to pros, reach their full potential.
