For prop firm operators and providers

Build your prop firm on a stack you can check.

An independent directory of the platforms, payment processors, KYC, payout and risk providers that prop firms run on. Written for operators, not by the vendors, by a team that built and ran a prop firm and can help you build or fix yours.

Vetted by our in-house team. If not, we will tell you.
