Quanted

What Quanted does

Quanted Technologies Ltd. is a London-based, privately held software company that has built an AI/ML-powered data discovery platform positioned as the "context layer for capital markets." The company's core product helps quantitative investment teams — primarily hedge funds, quant funds, and other institutional buy-side firms — discover, test, and validate alternative and traditional datasets before engaging data vendors, while simultaneously giving data vendors a channel to reach qualified buy-side demand. Its technology stack centers on a proprietary data lake (reported at 4.5 million feature columns and 1,500+ unique feature transformations as of January 2026), a double-blind system that protects intellectual property for both funds and vendors during testing, and a suite of AI-driven capabilities including natural language search, automated signal discovery, a thesis-validation reasoning engine (Quanted Query beta), an autonomous Data Onboarding Agent, and a production-side attribution layer called Quanted Data Bridge. On-premises deployment and military-grade encryption address institutional security requirements, and ICO certification reinforces data protection accountability.

The platform is delivered through a hybrid GTM motion combining enterprise field sales for institutional customers (with custom Order Confirmations and multi-year contracts) and a self-serve product-led channel at query.quanted.com. Revenue is generated via SaaS subscriptions (annual for non-institutional, multi-year negotiated for institutional), a usage-based credit system for feature consumption beyond authorized limits, and on-premises licensing. Customer segments are split between buy-side funds and data vendors, both of which are treated as primary. The company has publicly disclosed an anonymized hedge fund reference customer and is actively signing data vendor integrations — more than ten in roughly eight months — covering fundamental, market, alternative, and macroeconomic data sources.

Founded in 2023, the company remains early-stage with a 1-10 employee headcount, a London headquarters (Covent Garden), and US commercial presence via a dedicated phone line and New York-based industry events. An undisclosed venture funding round was reported in May 2025. The product cadence across 2025-2026 — Data Bridge, Aggregated Reports, Market State Features, and Quanted Query beta — combined with rapid expansion of the data lake and the vendor network, signals a company investing aggressively in platform depth rather than revenue capture to date.

Core offering

Quanted operates an investment-grade data discovery platform that acts as the context layer for capital markets. It enables quantitative funds and buy-side investors to discover, test, and validate datasets against their trading models before engaging data vendors, while also providing data vendors a channel to reach qualified fund demand. The platform uses AI/ML techniques, feature selection, and performance comparisons to recommend datasets and quantify impact on model performance.

Product overview

Quanted is a unified data discovery platform serving as the context layer for capital markets, designed for investment-grade data discovery. The core platform encompasses Quanted (main interface), Quanted Query (thesis validation via natural language search), and Quanted Data Bridge (vendor referral system), all powered by a centralized data lake. Additional capabilities include an automated Data Onboarding Agent for vendor data ingestion, aggregated reporting across tests, and market state signal features. The platform supports both SaaS and on-premises deployment models, enabling funds to discover, test, and validate datasets before committing to vendor trials while maintaining IP protection through a double-blind system.
