What started as an idea formulated in the summer of 2019 has led to a booming success in the world of finance. Inspiring aspiring entrepreneurs to realize childhood dreams and burn as much midnight oil as needed, Anthony Cooper is the proud CEO of the private equity fund Cooper Capital.

From the first moment that he walked outside the gates of his school, Anthony Cooper knew he wanted to be in business. He was interested in launching his own venture and spent hours dreaming up a project that would make him a full-fledged entrepreneur.

“They say that to be a good entrepreneur, you have to find a problem and then fix it,” he shares. “It took me a long time to figure out something that I thought was a problem.”

For the longest time, Anthony drafted and crumpled business plans. He struggled, trying to find the perfect start-up venture, and it took a while before it dawned on him that he was brainstorming from the wrong perspective. Instead of thinking up a project that would help people, he had been consumed by proving people wrong.

This realization gave way to a smooth conceptualization process, and during the hot summer days last year, Cooper Capital was born. The project started as an idea to create a rare opportunity for traders to bounce back from failure.

Studying the market, Anthony found that from the 90% of traders who fail, 85% do so due to lack of capital, which causes them to over-leverage or over-trade. Anthony Cooper had the solution to that problem — a private equity fund that provides individuals the opportunity to trade on a unique subscription-based platform. The designed cure to a growing plague, the start-up venture demanded long days and dedication.

Anthony Cooper, his business partner and Cooper Capital’s Chief Operations Officer, Landen Mical, and their dedicated team threw themselves into work. After pouring in hours of research and testing, raising funds for capital, and hiring a legal team, Cooper Capital began to take life.

However, the driving force behind the project’s first breath was Anthony’s sister’s last. Just this year, Ashley Cooper passed away. “The thing that everybody remembers her doing was helping others. That honestly inspired myself and the team to work a lot more diligently so that we can help others in our own way as quickly as possible.”

To say that Cooper Capital’s launch was successful would be an understatement. In just its first month out, the project had funded a whopping over one million dollars to its traders. By supporting Foreign Exchange Traders, Anthony’s venture managed to raise over 15 million dollars with a few pages still left of this year’s calendar.

Cooper Capital’s process begins as a subscription-based platform where traders are found based on the account’s percentage. The count starts at 50,000 dollars and runs the trader through four different levels. The fourth being the “top tier,” where the fund’s one million dollar account is hit, and the trader is considered fully-funded.

“We just really want to give everybody the opportunity to trade on an institutional level as a trader.” The performance expectations at this point, according to Anthony Cooper, would be excellent risk management, consistency, and growth — qualities that can be perfected through passion and hard work.

As of last week, Cooper Capital signed its very first deal with a well-known firm. The contract is the company’s first step to transitioning into funding firms within the next two to three years. Building on his dream and the memory of his beloved sister, Anthony Cooper plans to lead his project into becoming the biggest liquid provider, filling the pockets of traders and the coffers of firms and brokerages worldwide.
