The FinTechpreneur, as the founder and CEO at Quasar Markets, empowers lives with a unique AI-powered, all-in-one platform, helping people make smart financial decisions.
It is always astonishing to notice the consistent rise of a few entrepreneurial talents, who even across ever-evolving and saturated industries go ahead in creating their unique niche with all they choose to lay their hands on. However, one factor that has helped a few of them shine brighter than the rest is their commitment to making a greater positive change through their work. Doing this precisely in the FinTech world is founder and CEO of Quasar Markets, Steven E. Orr. The entrepreneurial talent has been charting the future of global FinTech, while also inspiring the next-gen in the industry to lead the way through ground-breaking ideas and innovations.
Steven E. Orr thrives on his relentless spirit of 34 years of experience, which has helped him transform how the world trades with Quasar Markets. It has risen as an all-in-one AI-powered platform built to empower every investor. Speaking more about Quasar Markets, Steven says that all the trading tools, data, and insights are seamlessly integrated with the platform. The founder and CEO of Quasar Markets is known in trading circles as BigBeat, who did not take the conventional route to Wall Street success. He hails from a small town in Illinois and made it to Washington D.C, eventually leading boardrooms in global finance.
Relentless twists and turns shaped his journey and each sharpened his insight into markets, media and people. Today, as the founder and CEO of Quasar Markets, Steven channels decades of learning and experience into a revolutionary FinTech platform that is well on its path to redefine trading and investing for modern-day individuals in the modern era. Quasar Markets was launched in early 2024, and in just a short span of time, it has already been making headlines in the industry, for all the right reasons. The platform is a 34-year career spanning finance, government, media and sports. Steven says his goal is to give everyday investors access to institutional-grade data, tools and insights, paving the way for global financial literacy to be not just a goal, but a standard.
One of the significant factors that has helped Steven E. Orr stand apart from the rest in the industry is his knowledge, expertise and experiences, and his relentless drive. The unstoppable momentum in him has helped him drive the mission of Quasar Markets, which is to build a FinTech ecosystem that puts the power back into the hands of users around the world. From the beginning, he realized that trading goes beyond numbers on a screen; it’s a world of its own. Quasar Markets reflects the interconnected reality through AI-powered tools that track and interpret global events in real time.
Quasar Markets, Steven says, isn’t focused on a single service; it is built as a marketplace, driven by AI for everything, from traders to beginners to institutional pros. They can access global news and real-time alerts, AI-powered trade insights, charting and tech tools, voice-based searches and AI co-pilots, custom educational resources, and secure cloud-based access across devices. Even more interesting is how the platform is localized for multiple regions and languages with current expansions underway in Japan, Germany and Saudi Arabia. With Quasar, anyone can understand the market in their own language on their preferred device, even via VR.
Quasar Markets launched to critical acclaim, winning awards for Best AI Research Platform (2023 and 2024), FinTech Startup of the Year 2024 and AI Startup of the Year (2024). Steven’s goal now is to help other FinTech companies adapt and innovate. Through SaaS partnerships, Quasar has raised industry standards and invited competitors to think faster, bigger, and smarter.
