KIBOAT HOLDINGS INC.

What KIBOAT HOLDINGS INC. does

Kibot (operated by Oricsoft under the KIBOAT HOLDINGS INC. umbrella) is a historical market data vendor selling tick, minute, and daily OHLCV bars for US stocks, ETFs, futures, forex, indexes, and OTC instruments. The product is centered on a single stable CSV schema (Date,Time,O,H,L,C,V) that has remained unchanged for over a decade, enabling customers to maintain long-running backtesting loaders without re-engineering. Coverage spans 28 years of minute bars since 1998 across roughly 18,000 US stocks and 6,900 ETFs, 17+ years of tick-by-tick prints with National Best Bid and Offer since 2009, 64 years of daily end-of-day data back to 1962, 82 futures contracts across 12 categories, and 1,000+ forex pairs aggregated from three independent providers (TenFore, Barclays, FXCM). The full tick+bid/ask archive for stocks and ETFs is approximately 10-12 TB uncompressed (1.5 TB compressed). Data is delivered through four channels: direct download from the account page, a REST-ish Historical Data API with session auth and gzip negotiation (with reference clients in eight languages), FTP archives compressed at ~10:1, and a free Windows Kibot Agent for headless automated updates.

The business model combines recurring monthly subscriptions (Basic, Standard, Professional, Premium, EOD tiers billed on a 30-day rolling cycle) with one-time data purchases (pre-packaged index bundles, futures and forex packages). A free guest API tier with daily-data-only access and a 15-day API trial on any purchase drive top-of-funnel conversion. Payment processing, invoicing, and subscription renewal are outsourced to FastSpring (BrightMarket LLC) as merchant of record, enabling institutional procurement workflows including purchase-order numbers, wire transfers, and VAT reverse-charge removal. Customers include hedge funds, university procurement departments, corporate finance teams, individual traders and quantitative researchers, and software developers building trading platforms. No funding rounds, management team, or office location are disclosed; the company presents itself as a small independent operation with a documentation-driven, product-led growth motion.

Direct peers

• Tiingo: Historical end-of-day and intraday market data plus news and fundamentals delivered via API, with subscription tiers aimed at quant developers and academic researchers. Highly comparable to Kibot on buyer persona (traders, quants, academics) and API-first delivery.
• EOD Historical Data: Affordable historical end-of-day and intraday data vendor for global stocks, ETFs, forex, and cryptocurrencies, with bulk CSV downloads and API access. Comparable to Kibot on low-cost bulk historical delivery and broad instrument coverage, though less specialized in US tick microstructure.
• Polygon.io: API-first market data provider offering historical and real-time US stocks, options, forex, and crypto data via REST and WebSocket APIs. Directly comparable to Kibot on asset coverage, developer-oriented delivery, and target customer (quants and developers), with a streaming-first architecture versus Kibot's bulk-CSV model.
• Intrinio: Financial data API platform serving hedge funds, fintechs, and developers with historical stock, ETF, options, and fundamental data. Comparable on institutional-grade API access, multi-asset coverage, and pricing tiers aimed at both individual quant and enterprise buyers.
• Alpha Vantage: Cloud-based API provider of historical and real-time stock, ETF, forex, and cryptocurrency data, with freemium tiers and API-key access. Comparable to Kibot's REST API surface, free guest access, and self-serve PLG motion, though Alpha Vantage's tick depth is narrower.
• Nasdaq Data Link (formerly Quandl): Marketplace and API for financial and alternative datasets, including historical stock, futures, and FX data, with both free and premium feeds. Comparable to Kibot as a multi-source financial data aggregator serving quants, though with a much broader alternative-data footprint.
• Tick Data (OneMarketData): Historical tick and intraday market data vendor for global equities, futures, and FX, with deep archives aimed at institutional backtesting. Closely comparable to Kibot on tick-level historical depth and institutional buyer focus in the backtesting segment.

Broad incumbents

• Refinitiv (LSEG Data & Analytics): Global financial market data, reference data, and analytics provider serving investment banks, asset managers, and corporates. Overlaps with Kibot on historical stock, futures, and FX data, but as part of a much broader enterprise platform rather than a niche historical-only offering.
• Bloomberg Data Services: Enterprise financial data, analytics, and historical reference data products sold alongside the Bloomberg Terminal to large institutions. Overlaps with Kibot on historical market data needs of hedge funds and finance teams, but at a vastly larger scale and price point.

Emerging players

• Databento: Modern market data API focused on institutional-grade historical and real-time tick data across US equities, options, and futures. Comparable to Kibot on tick+NBBO depth and quant buyer focus, with a more recent, cloud-native infrastructure stack.
