Born from the burn.
Built to be different.
Ember Funded wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born from frustration — from watching the prop firm industry charge traders hundreds of dollars, then deny their payouts on technicalities. We built the firm we wished existed.
The industry profits when you fail.
Most prop firms charge hundreds upfront for a challenge designed to fail you. If you pass? They find technicalities in the fine print to deny your payout. The business model is built on your failure — and they don’t even hide it.
We asked: what if it didn’t have to?
What if the barrier to entry was $25 instead of $500? What if every rule was published, not buried? What if passing the challenge actually meant getting funded — and getting paid? What if the firm made money because traders succeeded, not because they didn’t?
So we lit the match.
Ember Funded is the answer. The Spark Challenge lets traders prove themselves for as little as $25. Our rules are public, our drawdown is clear, and when you follow the rules — you get paid. No denials, no delays, no excuses. A spark starts the fire.
Transparency Over Fine Print
Every rule is published. No hidden clauses, no surprises at payout time.
Low Barriers, High Standards
Start for $25. But we expect real skill — no shortcuts, no gambling.
Pay When You Earn
We don’t deny payouts. Follow the rules, get your money. Period.
Traders First, Always
Our rules exist to protect everyone — not to trap you.
