Unified, nanosecond-accurate market-data API with clean tick data and consistent pricing

I once spent $100,000 on market data… and still couldn’t get what I needed. At my hedge fund, we had the capital. We had the team. We were eager to scale. However - - Even basic tick data was full of errors - APIs were clunky or nonexistent - Sales reps quoted us different prices on different days As heavy data users, we not only felt the industry's pain, but we knew exactly what solutions to build. We promised that if our hedge fund ever died, that we'd use our experience to make the industry better. Today: Databento supports users like engineers (not like sales quotas) and provides nanosecond-accurate data through one unified API. Also today: Our customers depend on us so much that they refuse to let us die (more on that later). Turns out, you don’t need to copy your competitors. You don’t need to play golf with the right VCs. You just need to build the product your younger self needed.

@christinaqi this is super cool! i recently saw @tardis_dev does something similar for crypto markets and is hella useful for traders. what other problem spaces you wish someone solved for hedge funds / trading firms @christinaqi ?
