About Us

Our Mission:

Democratize access to crucial, fast-moving information around the world.

At Quincy Data, we believe equal access to fast, reliable information strengthens financial markets. We provide customers of all sizes the market data to compete on equal footing.

We invest in speedy global infrastructure and resilience, so our customers can focus on what matters most: managing risk and making the best trading decisions. We build the best so you don’t have to.

We don’t trade. We empower your trading. Our sole focus is delivering the fastest, most reliable market-moving information—without conflicts of interest.

Our Story:

For years, only a select few firms had access to the fastest market data. Quincy Data changed that.

Founded in 2011 by Stéphane Tyč and Bob Meade—physics PhDs with deep expertise in microwave engineering and electronic trading—Quincy Data was built to level the playing field. Frustrated by their inability to access the best data when they were traders, they developed a market data distribution service that distributes information 40% faster than fiber. As a result, all firms now have proper access to the vital market data they need to compete.

What started as a solution to a problem they faced firsthand has become the global standard for low-latency market data. Today, Quincy Data remains at the forefront of speed, resilience, and innovation—committed to fairness and technical excellence in everything we do.
