At the core of every company is a founding story.

Ours has a few. It might have started in 2020, with the idea for Vestr, an investing super app. It might have began in 2021 with the Reddit retail mania, when we put our savings into Dogecoin at 2 cents and rode it to the peak, securing our seed money. Or, when we subsequently flailed through two different development agencies, finally building our own team.

But VestrData was really founded in 2024. Vestr.io is a finance platform with significant live data needs, but providers were charging $7k per month for options, crypto, forex, and stock data.

So we turned inwards, developed our own API, powered our own product, and founded our second company: VestrData.
