DL Software

What DL Software does

DL Software is a New York-based private software company that owns and operates Godel Terminal, a financial information system positioned as a more powerful replacement for legacy Wall Street terminals such as Bloomberg. The company targets two primary customer segments: marquee financial institutions and high-net-worth individuals whose aggregate assets on the platform exceed $1 billion. Co-founded by Martin Shkreli, DL Software leverages his public profile as a brand asset alongside product capabilities in financial data delivery.

The company's product portfolio is anchored by Godel Terminal, which has been in beta since 2025 and combines financial information delivery with generative AI capabilities. The portfolio has been expanded to include a developer-facing Generative AI API and an AI Physician application, both supported by the same underlying infrastructure and investment thesis. Technology differentiators cited in source materials emphasize performance speed, integration, and domain specialization. The company operates with a small team (1-10 employees) and is actively hiring backend and frontend engineers in New York to scale the product.

DL Software generates revenue primarily through subscription-based recurring revenue from Godel Terminal, distributed via direct enterprise field sales to financial institutions and HNW individuals. The company has raised a total of $7 million in disclosed venture funding: a $2 million pre-seed round in August 2024 led by dao5, Naval, and Evolve Ventures, followed by a $5 million seed round in January 2026 led by Infinitum with participation from Flex Capital, continued support from dao5, and many Godel users. Reported revenue is in the millions of dollars and described as rapidly growing since beta launch. Geographic footprint is currently North America-focused with no disclosed international expansion.

Emerging players

• Sentieo (now AlphaSense): AI-powered financial research platform acquired by AlphaSense; historically compared directly to Bloomberg's research workflow and represents the trajectory an AI-native financial data platform can take.
• AlphaSense: AI-driven market intelligence and research platform used by enterprises and financial institutions; represents the 'modern, AI-native' alternative narrative that Godel is also pursuing, and a useful comparison for AI-enhanced workflow adoption.
• Koyfin: Financial data and analytics platform targeting both institutional and individual investors with a more modern UX than legacy terminals — the closest direct product analog to Godel's PLG-meets-institutional positioning.
• Quartr: Investor relations and earnings call platform with expanding financial data offerings for buy-side professionals; an adjacent emerging player in modernizing the workflows that legacy terminals currently dominate.
• TradingView: Modern charting and financial data platform with a strong product-led growth motion serving both retail and prosumer/professional users — a useful PLG comparable for Godel's hybrid consumer-to-institutional funnel.

Broad incumbents

• FactSet: Established financial data and analytics platform serving institutional investors with portfolio analytics, market data, and workflow tools — overlapping significantly with Godel's institutional use cases.
• Morningstar Direct: Investment research and analytics platform widely used by asset managers and advisors; overlaps with the research, data, and analytics workflows that Godel targets at institutional clients.
• S&P Capital IQ Pro: S&P Global's flagship financial intelligence platform for investment professionals, offering fundamentals, estimates, and transaction data — a direct comparable in the institutional financial information market.
• Bloomberg: The dominant incumbent financial information terminal that Godel Terminal is explicitly positioning to replace. Bloomberg's Terminal, data feeds, and messaging product define the category in which DL Software competes.
• LSEG (Refinitiv) Workspace: London Stock Exchange Group's financial workstation, successor to the Refinitiv Eikon terminal, serves traders and analysts with market data, analytics, and connectivity — competing for the same institutional seat budgets as Godel.
