Descriptiontext

Dare is a London-headquartered energy technology company that operates as a proprietary trading firm in global commodities markets. The company combines deep trading expertise with proprietary technology and data science to generate liquidity across power, gas, and emissions markets, serving enterprise counterparties — not retail clients — through direct trading relationships with exchanges, trading venues, brokers, and other commodities market participants. Its core offering is an integrated commodities trading platform supporting internal desks through real-time pricing, risk management, analytics, and execution capabilities, with algorithmic trading systems (TWAP/VWAP), market-making strategies, and ML-powered trading indicators developed in C++/Python using frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, and Huggingface.

The business operates as a transaction-fee, B2B enterprise model with no public pricing disclosure. Dare's group structure comprises Dare International Ltd (UK parent), Dare Global Limited (Cayman Islands holding), Dare Power Ltd (UK power trading), Dare Sustainable Solutions Limited (UK environmental markets and energy attribute certificates), and Dare US LLC (Delaware, US trading operations). The company employs over 180 professionals and runs a structured recruitment pipeline — including the Dare Trading Championship, Graduate Trading Analyst programme, and gamified assessment processes — to source dual-skilled trader-technology talent.

Strategically, Dare is in a controlled expansion phase: professionalizing its C-suite (CFO and CTPO hires in 2022), extending trading into the US via a Delaware subsidiary, and broadening into adjacent sustainability/environmental markets through its Sustainable Solutions entity. Revenue is derived from proprietary trading activity rather than software licensing, positioning Dare as an energy trading operator that uses technology as competitive infrastructure rather than a software vendor selling tools to the market.
