About Moment:

Moment builds modern infrastructure for the fixed income markets by combining data, trading access, and portfolio management to demystify and give easy access to the largest capital asset markets in the world. Founded in 2022, by former fixed income quants and traders at leading prop shops, Moment has quickly established itself as the leading fixed income infrastructure provider for global fintechs, traditional brokerages, and RIAs.

Fixed income is the largest asset class in the world, and the market is evolving rapidly. In the past three years, electronic fixed income trading volume has nearly doubled — and in the past 14 months, retail fixed income trading volume has increased by more than 1500%. Despite this rapid growth, the wealth management fixed income space has been confined to outdated technology that fails to meet investors’ needs. In just a matter of weeks, we can give clients the ability to offer an end-to-end, modern fixed income solution through a simple set of APIs across data, execution, and portfolio management.

Our clients are large organizations that have quickly recognized the value of our innovative technology to give fixed income market access to the millions of retail investors they represent.

And we’re just getting started! We're growing incredibly fast and are backed by world-class investors. To date, we've raised $20M+ from top-tier investors.
