In today’s edition of Founder Spotlight, we’re highlighting Martin Froehler, founder and CEO of Morpher—a decentralized trading platform that’s removing traditional barriers to the financial markets. Morpher enables users to trade global assets 24/7 with zero fees and complete transparency, powered by blockchain and enhanced with AI. With a mission to unlock financial opportunity for the billions currently excluded, Morpher is redefining what it means to participate in modern markets.
What does your business do, and what inspired you to start it?
At Morpher, we’ve built a decentralized trading platform that allows anyone to trade stocks, commodities, crypto, and even luxury collectibles, anytime, anywhere. Unlike traditional brokers, our platform operates without intermediaries, relying on innovative Virtual Futures built on Ethereum. We don’t charge any trading fees, offer infinite liquidity, and empower users through non-custodial wallets.
The idea was born out of a staggering global inequality: more than 70% of the world’s population lacks access to financial markets. I started Morpher to fix that. Everyone deserves a fair shot at building wealth. Blockchain gave us the technology to build a trustless, global financial layer—and we ran with it.

What has been the biggest challenge in your entrepreneurial journey, and how did you overcome it?
Blockchain is powerful, but it’s also complex and unforgiving. One of our biggest hurdles was building a user-friendly trading experience without exposing users to the technical headaches of crypto. We had to develop much of the infrastructure ourselves, from smart contracts to analytics tools.
What made it even tougher? Blockchain is immutable. A single mistake in production can’t be undone. So we implemented rigorous audits and testing processes to ensure everything deployed on-chain is secure and bug-free. It’s slow work, but absolutely necessary to maintain trust and integrity.
Where do you see AI making the biggest impact in your industry over the next five years?
AI and blockchain are on a collision course—and that’s a good thing. I believe blockchain will become the native way for AI to prove correctness and transact value. In trading, AI will continue to transform how we research, design, and execute strategies. It’s like having an infinitely scalable co-worker who never sleeps.
But it’s important to keep expectations realistic: AI can advise and assist brilliantly, but execution still needs human oversight, especially in financial systems where accuracy and accountability are paramount.
How has Vengo AI helped your business capture leads and grow sales?
We integrated Vengo AI to enhance our user engagement strategy. Early results are promising. What’s already clear from Vengo’s broader data is compelling: 96% of the visitors we get on our website talk to our AI Agent and ask questions about how our platform works. 74% of them are converting into actual users of our platform.
That kind of automated lead capture is game-changing. For a platform like ours, where user education is key, having AI that can intelligently guide, qualify, and convert site visitors is a powerful addition to our toolkit.

What advice would you give to other founders looking to integrate AI into their businesses?
Think of AI as a co-founder, not just a tool. It’s not here to replace your team—it’s here to enhance it. Use AI where it adds the most value: removing bottlenecks, accelerating workflows, and scaling personalization.
But don’t expect it to execute like a human. That’s not its role. Start small, iterate fast, and let AI become a force multiplier in your operations. The future belongs to those who learn how to work with it, not just adopt it.
