Gotrade, a mobile app-based stock investing platform founded in 2019, aims to make global investing accessible to Southeast Asian retail investors, particularly in Indonesia, by addressing barriers such as high fees and regulatory complexities. By partnering with Alpaca, Gotrade offers users the ability to invest in U.S. stocks with as little as $1, along with advanced trading options like 24/5 trading and options strategies. The platform has experienced significant growth, serving over one million users and seeing a tenfold increase in trading volume as investors gain confidence. Gotrade's approach focuses on localization and simplicity, empowering users to engage more actively in global markets, while continuously expanding its product offerings to meet growing demand and stay ahead of larger competitors.
