Our Company

Our mission is to revolutionise trading infrastructure, providing a powerful blend of quantitative research, academic rigour, and technological innovation to support our clients’ long-term success. We’re not just building for today - we’re setting a new paradigm for the future.

Our Story

Empowering traders to uncover new revenue streams. When we entered the Crypto derivatives market in 2020, we were struck by the lack of effective risk management tools. Having built derivatives models and risk management systems for financial institutions and hedge funds, we realised that new participants in the digital asset space would face similar challenges. We set out to create a platform that combines cutting-edge technology for trading with a robust quantitative research infrastructure, unlocking innovation in derivatives trading. We aim to empower a new generation of traders seeking a trusted partner for growth.

Our cloud-based ecosystem brings together decades of experience and innovation. It offers industry-leading tools to run a variety of scenarios and generate lightning-fast insights on complex risk scenarios. Powered by Machine Learning and AI, our platform accelerates calculations, streamlines workflows, and enables fast product development.

What has historically driven success in traditional derivatives markets is deep integration across data, models, risks, and strategies, ensuring that risk functions align with decision-makers. We bring this same integrated approach to digital assets, offering clients an agile, future-proof platform that delivers trusted, actionable insights.
