I thought the market map was interesting to think about and the companies that are disrupting the space:
The data in and around financial services is something everyone is thinking about. With all of these AI applications and the need for timely, accurate and insightful data, the question becomes what happens to $FDS ( ▲ 3.95% ) $SPGI ( ▲ 3.35% ) $NDAQ ( ▲ 5.69% ) $ICE ( ▲ 1.19% ) $LNSTY ( ▲ 0.3% )? I think the large public companies have a target on their back. The terms of service need to change. The pricing needs to change. The speed needs to change. The click-through transparency needs to change. The use cases are expanding. The needs are 100x. All of this change leads to new solutions, new buyers, new sellers, and new demands. Fiscal.ai is sitting right in the middle of this market, and as an investor, we are seeing new opportunities every day.
The Portage perspective is worth a read. I think the API's and Data Access are particularly interesting. From fundamental equities to fixed income, derivatives, prediction markets, and price/volume data - the needs and opportunities are becoming clearer. I look forward to meeting and backing more founders tackling this opportunity.
