Polygon.io, a market data platform that allows developers to interface with the world’s most accurate real-time and historical financial data, announced that they have raised a $6 million Series A financing led by e.ventures.
Existing investor Green Visor Capital also participated in the funding round. Thomas Gieselmann, co-founder of e.ventures and early investor in companies such as NGINX, Segment.com, AppAnnie and GotoMyPC, will be joining Polygon.io’s board of directors, the company’s press release said.
“Polygon.io is the easiest and most scalable solution to pipe security pricing data into any trading related software. With software ‘eating’ security trade execution, their developer-friendly platform will become the foundational building block for the security trading landscape of the future,” said Gieselmann.
Polygon.io will leverage this investment to accelerate sustainable growth and further its vision of democratizing access to the world’s financial market data. The company will make significant investments in engineering, infrastructure, and data on its mission to help developers build the future of fintech.
Started by ex-Googler, Quinton Pike, the platform provides developers with frictionless access to the most accurate historical and real-time data available. Polygon.io’s stocks data API already powers best-in-class financial and technology customers including Google, Revolut, Robinhood, and the US Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), providing them and their users with trusted, high-quality financial information in real-time and without friction.
“e.ventures’ investment is a great testament to our success to-date and strengthens our ability to invest in talent and infrastructure to develop our platform and expand our offering. I am excited to welcome Thomas Gieselmann to the board. His expertise advising tech organizations and love for product make him an ideal partner for us,” said Quinton Pike, Founder and CEO of Polygon.io.
“Polygon.io has set the standard for developer focused institutional quality market data solutions. We are excited to continue supporting this exceptional team on its mission to democratize access to data and enable capital markets innovation,” said Michael Walsh, General Partner at Green Visor Capital and board member at Polygon.io.
