Providing a fault-tolerant streaming platform that unifies real-time data ingestion, ordering, distribution, transformation, and storage.

Problem
Exchanges and other real-time systems need to move high volumes of data with deterministic ordering, fan-out, and durable replay, but assembling these capabilities from separate systems can increase operational complexity and cost.
Solution
AlgoX2 provides a fault-tolerant data streaming operating system that combines ingestion, ordering, multicast fan-out, transformations, transactions, gateways, telemetry, and durable storage in one engine. It supports protocols and systems including Kafka, NATS, MQTT, Redis, Postgres, HTTP, and WebSocket.
Customers they serve
Exchanges, trading platforms, prediction markets, and other organizations building high-throughput real-time data infrastructure, including teams responsible for market data, risk and surveillance, analytics, or strategy simulation.

Helping startup founders and employees diversify illiquid private-company equity through pooled investment exposure.

Problem
Founders and early employees often hold a large share of their wealth in illiquid stock or options in a single venture-backed company, leaving them exposed to company-specific risk and with few opportunities to realize cash gains before an exit.
Solution
Aption lets eligible holders contribute exposure to their startup equity to pools of equity positions in similarly promising private companies. Its data-driven platform supports pool allocation and management, and members receive pro-rata cash payouts when companies in their pool have liquidity events. The arrangement is structured as a derivative, with management fees charged upon liquidity.
Customers they serve
Founders and early employees of venture-backed private companies who hold startup stock or options and want to diversify or manage their concentrated, illiquid equity exposure.

Problem
