Beginning in 1997, we played a pivotal role in transforming global capital markets by helping the industry transition from open outcry to electronic trading. As markets evolved, we leveraged our expertise and relationships to build one of the world’s fastest communication networks for high-frequency trading, enabling lower latency and greater market efficiency.

In 2016, we applied those operational insights and strategic judgment to venture investing. We backed companies such as Vaya Space and Reverse Ionizer—firms whose technologies were a decade ahead of their time. Through incubation and patient support, these companies matured into market-ready leaders whose products delivered significant commercial and strategic impact. We are now expanding our focus to learn how our abilities can impact the Arts and Entertainment world as well as impact philanthropic endeavors of our partners.
