Summary
Financial Datasets builds a market data API designed for AI agents to access live financial information for 27,000+ global stocks. Founded by Virat, who previously worked as a software engineer at Acorns, Airbnb, and Faire, they solve the problem that existing market data providers like Bloomberg and FactSet built infrastructure for humans, not agents. They provide machine-readable schemas, natural language search, and source citations, with data parsed and queryable in seconds at 99.99% precision. The API is trusted by 1,000+ customers including hedge funds, serving millions of requests daily.
