Copy Geek Raises A$2M Pre-Seed to Bring Its Copy-Trading Engine to More Exchanges
Oct 29, 2026
Built to grow exchanges: Copy Geek’s copy-trading engine runs on an exchange’s existing systems and brings it active, funded traders without the cost of acquiring them.
Sydney, Australia, October 29, 2026 -- Copy Geek, a provider of proprietary trading software for professional traders, today announced it has closed an A$2 million Pre-Seed funding round. The round was led by Dr. David Issa and Mr. Thomas Boga, on behalf of a consortium of prominent Sydney-based private investors. Dr. Issa is a highly respected medical professional with over 20 years of experience in the field and in private investments.
Copy Geek specializes in advanced crypto trading tools, anchored by its proprietary high-performance copy trading engine designed for seamless integration with the world’s top cryptocurrency exchanges. The platform is currently live on Bitfinex, WhiteBIT, Bybit and Hyperliquid.
The engine is built to drive accelerated growth for exchanges. It runs on each exchange’s existing accounts, APIs and order books, so there is nothing for the exchange to build or host, and every trade a follower copies is placed and settled on that exchange. Exchanges gain active, funded traders and new trading volume without the customer acquisition costs that usually come with them.
"Copying the order is the easy part. What matters is the result. Our engines have been built to watch every fill and every execution and keep the follower in sync with the trader, because a trader posting big numbers means nothing if the people following can't come along for the same ride the trader's on," said Chris Ji, founder of Copy Geek.
The fresh capital will be used to accelerate product development, expand engineering teams, and deepen exchange partnerships.
Copy Geek is also recruiting traders through its Geek Pass. Anyone with at least 60 days of trading history on a supported exchange can apply, with the US$299 activation fee waived, a place on the trader leaderboard and a guaranteed first follow from Copy Geek’s own account.
“We are entering an era where cryptocurrency and digital assets will play an undeniably prominent role in the global financial economy,” said Dr. Issa, co-lead investor of the consortium. “Copy Geek has built the exact type of robust, user-centric infrastructure needed to democratize access to these markets. Our consortium is proud to back a team that combines deep trading expertise with an enterprise-ready vision.”
Copy Geek has also benefited from the insights of experienced technology professionals, including Tech Advisor Adrian Tadros, who brings over 20 years of experience spanning global cloud hyperscalers, leading consulting firms, and major financial institutions. His background includes enterprise architecture, cloud infrastructure, and large-scale technology transformation.
