Polygon.io operates as a financial data platform, providing developers and enterprises with real-time and historical market data for stocks, options, forex, and cryptocurrencies. The company was founded in 2017 by Quinton Pike, who currently serves as CEO. Pike's background includes key roles at organizations like The Coca-Cola Company, Google, and CNN, which provided him with a foundation in development and user interface architecture. His goal with Polygon.io is to democratize access to high-quality financial data.
The firm's core business revolves around its developer-centric platform, which delivers data through standardized RESTful APIs, WebSockets, and flat-file downloads. This infrastructure is designed for low latency, with data sourced directly from major exchanges, ensuring timely and accurate information. The company’s revenue model is subscription-based, offering various pricing tiers for individuals, startups, and enterprises with transparent monthly pricing and unlimited API calls. Business plans provide the necessary licensing for redistributing the market data. Polygon.io serves a diverse client base, from individual developers and traders to large financial institutions and tech companies, enabling them to build a wide range of financial applications, including trading apps, robo-advisors, and analytics platforms.
Key milestones for the company include a Seed Round in June 2019 led by Green Visor Capital and a $6 million Series A round in October 2020 led by Headline (formerly e.ventures). This funding has supported the expansion of its data platform and integrations with partners like Cboe and Nasdaq. In August 2022, Polygon.io was ranked #199 on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing companies.
