About

Databento sells financial market data through self-service APIs, covering real-time and historical data for equities, futures, options, and other asset classes from more than 60 trading venues. Rather than buying feeds from a redistributor, the company colocates its own capture servers inside exchange data centers and normalizes the data itself. Customers pull live feeds or up to 15 years of historical data on usage-based pricing, with flat-rate options for live subscriptions. Founded in 2019, it reports serving over 3,000 firms and closed a $97 million Series B led by NEA in July 2026.

Databento captures data directly at the exchange rather than through intermediaries, which lets it offer sub-millisecond latency, nanosecond-accurate timestamps, and pay-as-you-go pricing on data that incumbents typically sell only through long-term enterprise contracts.
