    The technology - yes, we designed it specifically for institutions. Most of the feedback and early testing has come from users who are at (or been at) the 30 largest prop firms and bulge bracket banks. And that's why you'll find that many of our features are only available in comparable products that are priced at $1.5 to $6k per market per month.

    But we're also completely open to retail users, who're not subject to non-display fees, on the platform.

    The best way to think about this is: would one consider AWS to be a retail or institutional offering? You have large enterprises like Netflix with massive footprints on AWS, and AWS has a lot of functionality specifically catering to large institutions, but the on-demand pricing still lets you spin up an academic project.

    That's why I'm here. To advocate for both types of users and create awareness of our product outside the institutional space. :) Otherwise, we already have pretty good industry recognition with institutional users after our public reveal and award-winning display at the most recent FIA Expo.
