HONG KONG, March 06, 2025 — A new proprietary trading firm, Upside Funding, is changing the game with its capital-backed, mentorship-focused approach. Established by two former Citigroup Managing Directors, boasting over 60 years of combined market experience, the company is pioneering a mentorship-driven funding model. This model aims to cultivate traders and provide them with full-time job opportunities, offering annual salaries reaching up to $350,000.

Bringing Institutional Expertise to Prop Trading
Founded in 2024, Upside Funding’s core objective is to grant traders access to capital, direct mentorship, and sustained career paths. Unlike conventional prop firms that often leave traders unaided after funding, Upside Funding incorporates active coaching from seasoned professionals.

“Drawing from our extensive background in institutional trading, we recognized that the primary need in proprietary trading wasn’t just capital, but rather guidance,” stated Charles, Co-Founder & CEO of Upside Funding. “The majority of firms simply provide funds and expect traders to navigate the complexities independently. Our approach is different. We provide mentorship, aid in scaling capital, and offer a pathway towards a full-time salaried position.”

1:1 CEO Mentorship for Funded Traders
Upside Funding offers every funded trader direct engagement with the firm’s leadership. This includes personalized coaching from the CEO and experienced mentors. This hands-on methodology guarantees that traders benefit from:

• One-on-one mentoring with the CEO and seasoned mentors
• Performance evaluations and customized trading strategy advice
• Continuous assistance in scaling capital up to $1.5 million

The focus extends beyond mere capital allocation, emphasizing the importance of discipline and strategic planning to achieve profitable account growth.

Full-Time Trader Role: Salaries Up to $350K
High-achieving traders are eligible for Upside Funding’s full-time Remote Trader Program, which offers annual salaries up to $350,000 while trading with the firm’s capital. This program is exclusively for individuals who consistently demonstrate both profitability and effective risk management.

“We’re not only providing capital to traders; we’re also establishing career paths,” said James, Co-Founder & Head of Trader Management at Upside Funding. “When a trader proves their capabilities, we provide stability, opportunities for growth, and a legitimate chance at achieving financial independence.”
