Sam Bradbury Returns to Prop Trading With Get Funded Now Deal
Sam Bradbury has acquired the operating assets of Get Funded Now, returning him to direct ownership of a proprietary trading firm two years after leaving Glow Node. The deal, which closed on 5 August 2026 according to Finance Magnates, covers the brand, intellectual property, customer accounts and operating assets, with Bradbury Capital Ltd named as the new operator. Financial terms have not been disclosed, and Finance Magnates reported it could not independently verify the status of every customer account at completion.
Ownership changes among proprietary trading firms have become a recurring feature of the sector as founders exit, re-enter or consolidate brands under new corporate structures. The latest example involves Sam Bradbury, who has acquired the operating assets of Get Funded Now, according to a report by Damian Chmiel for Finance Magnates published on 12 August 2026.
What happened
According to Finance Magnates, the deal closed on 5 August 2026 and covers the Get Funded Now brand, intellectual property, customer accounts and operating assets. Bradbury told the publication that current terms name Bradbury Capital Ltd as the operator. The transaction marks Bradbury's return to direct prop firm ownership two years after he exited Glow Node, the report said. Bradbury described missing "the community side of running a prop firm" in comments to Finance Magnates. His existing businesses, Propriotec and Rage Creative, will continue to supply technology and marketing services to the acquired firm, according to the report.
Why it matters
Get Funded Now previously operated through Dubai-based TIGOGI FZCO, Finance Magnates reported, and the article noted that Vadera is leaving operations, though the precise nature of this personnel change was not fully detailed in the available reporting and should be treated as provisional pending further confirmation. Bradbury Capital Ltd was incorporated in the UK in March 2026, with Companies House listing Bradbury as sole director and controlling shareholder, according to Finance Magnates. Financial terms of the acquisition remain private. For traders and observers trying to assess how firms in this space are structured, governed and evaluated over time, our methodology page sets out the criteria we apply when weighing corporate transparency, payout history and operational continuity — factors directly relevant to a transaction where ownership has changed hands but financial terms and some account details remain undisclosed.
What it means for traders
Bradbury Capital has assumed responsibility for existing trader accounts and future customer obligations, according to Finance Magnates. Bradbury told the publication that Get Funded Now had no overdue payouts or unpaid service-provider debts at the time the deal closed. However, Finance Magnates stated it could not independently verify the status of every account at completion, meaning traders with active accounts may wish to seek direct confirmation from the firm regarding their own positions and any outstanding obligations.

What to watch
Several details remain unresolved or unconfirmed in current reporting: the financial terms of the acquisition, the full scope of the personnel changes referenced by Finance Magnates, and the precise operational relationship between Bradbury Capital and the previous Dubai-based entity, TIGOGI FZCO. As with any change of ownership in the prop trading space, the practical test will be whether existing customer obligations are honoured consistently as the transition proceeds.
