The concept of Arcadier’s marketplace solution was formulated while Dinuke and Kenneth were still PayPal executives. Arcadier has raised about three million dollars in capital, with some of the funding coming from the founders, family trusts, and connected high net worth individuals. In 2017, Arcadier provided access to its APIs for users who require customised solutions to build bespoke marketplaces.
