TGVP Announces Investment in Databento

‍

TGVP,  the U.S. corporate venture capital arm of Toppan, is pleased to announce our investment in Databento, a market data infrastructure company that delivers real-time and historical exchange data through a developer-friendly, API-first platform. Databento enables trading firms, fintechs, and financial software builders to access institutional-grade datasets with modern onboarding and modular purchasing, without the legacy friction of terminal-centric distribution.

‍

For decades, the financial market data industry has been dominated by bundled terminals, opaque pricing, and long-term contracts, that model is now unbundling. Market data is increasingly consumed programmatically inside research stacks, automated trading systems, risk engines, and AI workflows rather than through human interfaces on screens. At the same time, demand for high-quality data is expanding as firms deploy automation and AI across investment and trading processes, requiring datasets that are machine-consumable, consistent, and production-ready.

‍

Databento is purpose-built for this shift. The company provides a single platform that supports both historical datasets for research and backtesting and live feeds for production trading and analytics, all delivered in standardized formats that reduce integration burden across markets and use cases. The platform is engineered to meet institutional requirements for low-latency delivery and high-fidelity data, including access to raw exchange feeds when needed, capabilities that have historically been difficult for smaller teams to source, integrate, and maintain.

‍

TGVP is excited to support Databento on its journey to build the next generation of financial data infrastructure. We believe the combination of developer-first distribution, enterprise-grade performance, and high-fidelity datasets creates a differentiated foundation for the future of financial technology, serving customers from systematic trading firms and prop desks to fintech platforms and teams building data-driven applications.
