Snowflake Ventures joins existing backers to support the delivery of granular market data on the cloud.
"We are very excited to have secured strategic investment from Snowflake Ventures. They are backing, and are aligned with, our mission to democratise access to high quality, large-scale historical data because BMLL’s data and analytics is one of the best use- cases for large-scale, financial market data in the cloud. Financial market players, including Snowflake’s customers, do not need to dedicate time and precious resources to engineer these large unstructured data sets to make them usable, and store unusable data in the cloud, over and over again. The cost and collective inefficiency of every organisation doing this themselves, is simply eye watering. We make our vast warehouse of curated Level 3 data and analytics readily available to the market and ultimately ensure that everyone can optimise their data capabilities. Clients differentiate themselves by what they do with this data, not by owning it."
Snowflake Ventures backed the Leeds-based decision intelligence company following its success in the 2022 Snowflake Startup Challenge.
"As we reviewed hundreds of entries from companies building products and applications on Snowflake, HyperFinity stood out in how the platform aligns with our Retail Data Cloud partner strategy. Over the coming months we’ll work closely with HyperFinity as they build out their decision intelligence platform and continue with their already impressive client traction."
