What Limeglass does

Limeglass is a UK-based SaaS company, founded in 2015 and headquartered in London, that builds financial content discovery and AI retrieval technology for capital markets institutions. The company's platform transforms unstructured investment research into paragraph-level structured data, serving both sell-side publishers (investment banks, independent research providers, financial publishers) and buy-side consumers (hedge funds, asset managers, wealth managers). Limeglass sells exclusively to enterprise financial services clients through direct field sales with custom-priced, API-first subscriptions and reports a headcount of 11-50 employees.

The technical foundation is the Limeglass Semantic Field Intelligence™ platform, combining a proprietary Financial Knowledge Graph of 200,000+ financial concepts spanning equity, macro, economics, ESG and thematic research with a Rich-NLP engine and Content Atomisation™ capability. The product suite includes PrismAPI (pre-publication document tagging supporting RIXML), ContentAPI (post-publication paragraph-level indexing), the Portal (white-label sales desk interface), Limeglass Hub (single-point research consumption), Fusion Search for AI (search engine and RAG enhancement layer), ResearchGenie AI Chat (extractive and generative research chatbot with Microsoft Teams integration), and Heatmap (wealth manager visualisation). Distribution is API-first via REST endpoints with TLS 1.2 encryption and OAuth 2.0 authentication, designed for embedding into client editorial systems, taxonomies, and distribution platforms.

Revenue is generated through recurring enterprise SaaS subscriptions priced via custom quotes with annual billing cadence; no public pricing tiers are disclosed. The company markets through content and thought leadership (including the Six Pillars of Trustworthy Financial AI framework), industry events (Unbundling Uncovered, FinJS), LinkedIn, and PR in fintech publications. Strategic milestones include a J.P. Morgan investment (November 2019), selection for Société Générale's Global Markets Incubator (September 2021), a partnership with Mosaic Smart Data (March 2021), and awards including IBS Intelligence Global Fintech Innovation (2020) and FILS Most Innovative Fintech Start-up (2021). Co-founders Rowland Park (CEO) and Simon Gregory (CTO) continue in active operating roles alongside Chief Product Officer Oliver Hunt.

Core offering

Limeglass provides a B2B SaaS platform that transforms unstructured investment research into structured, paragraph-level data for financial institutions. Its offering includes the PrismAPI pre-publication tagging API, the ContentAPI post-publication atomisation API, the Portal and Limeglass Hub web applications, and the Fusion Search for AI and ResearchGenie AI Chat AI modules, all powered by a proprietary Financial Knowledge Graph of 200,000+ financial concepts and Rich-NLP technology.

Product overview

Limeglass is a financial content discovery technology company offering a platform-plus-modules product architecture built on its proprietary Limeglass Semantic Field Intelligence, Financial Knowledge Graph (200,000+ financial concepts), and Content Atomisation technology. The core platform comprises Limeglass Hub (a single-point-of-access research consumption portal) and the Portal (a white-label out-of-the-box sales desk interface). Two REST APIs address the research workflow lifecycle: PrismAPI handles pre-publication automated document tagging, while ContentAPI powers post-publication paragraph-level content atomisation, search, and analytics. Two AI-powered add-on modules extend the platform: Fusion Search for AI enhances existing search engines and AI retrieval with Knowledge Graph integration and contextual chunking, and ResearchGenie AI Chat provides an extractive/generative AI chatbot for investment research. Ancillary offerings include the Heatmap visualisation tool and a full Analytics suite covering coverage trends, topic co-occurrence quantification, and readership analysis. The platform is sold to both Sell-Side/Publishers (investment banks, independent research providers) and Buy-Side institutions (hedge funds, asset managers, wealth managers), covering all financial asset classes (equities, macro, FX, commodities, fixed income).
