Angelo Ciaramello

I build consumer products in trading and prediction markets, and I run the growth that fills them.

Founder and operator. I've taken products from zero to 114,000 active users and $220M+ in online sales, written the rules those users traded against, and led the design of the platform underneath. I've also spent ten years as a DFS player and I trade prediction markets actively, so I'm usually the customer as well as the operator.

Things I've Built

PropFrame trader dashboard listing funded and challenge accounts with balances and a profit-split score breakdown
PropFrame account objectives view showing profit targets, drawdown limits and consistency rules
PropFrame trader scorecard grading consistency, scalping, news trading and drawdown behaviour
PropFrame affiliate portal showing referral earnings, conversion metrics and tier progress
PropFrame in-app community channels replacing an external Discord
PropFrame staff console home with live operational metrics across the firm
PropFrame payout approval queue in the staff console
PropFrame staff account management view, searchable and editable across every trader

The product layer prop firms run on top of the trading infrastructure they already have. Trader dashboard, staff console, and the whole commerce operation around them. It works the same whether the firm trades futures, CFDs or crypto, and it runs a live firm in production.

What I did

I owned the product definition end to end. I built every prototype, wrote the requirements, ran full QA and QC on the application, and took it to market with real users. Day to day that meant sitting between the front-end and back-end engineers and turning a requirement into something shipped, then testing it until it held.

Scope

  • 50+ features shipped
  • Multiple payment methods integrated
  • Multiple trading platform integrations
  • Trader dashboard: accounts, objectives, drawdown state, payouts, scoring
  • Affiliate program with tiers, sub-affiliates and a commission calculator
  • Staff console: payout approval, account management, risk analysis, moderation

How I got here

  1. 2018

    Started in IT

    Rutgers, then IT at Bayer Pharmaceutical. I spent nights trying to learn to trade and found out quickly that day trading is close to impossible.

  2. 2020

    Built an audience instead

    200,000 on Instagram and 10,000 in Discord. I ran affiliate marketing for a trading product and did $300,000 in revenue in the first month. That was the moment I understood what my audience actually wanted.

  3. 2021

    Founded The Funded Trader

    Zero to $14M a month. I learned more about how people behave when their own money is at risk than any other four years could have taught me.

  4. 2025

    Hit a wall that wasn't demand

    Our platform license was pulled through the brokerage chain, and there was no clean regulatory path for that product. The business had scaled past what its own foundation could carry.

  5. 2026

    Moved to prediction markets on purpose

    Licensed, regulated, and growing, with institutional money coming in. The same instincts about what makes someone put money at risk, pointed somewhere with a future.
