In a world where access to financial data seemed restricted to a privileged few, a visionary company emerged, determined to change the status quo. 2018 was the year that brought traders and investors a piece of great news, which was born of the Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) company, with a mission to empower traders and investors of all sizes with institutional-grade financial data.
With steadfast determination, FMP set out on a revolutionary mission to ensure that financial market data would be readily available to all. With a clear purpose, the company aimed to empower traders and investors with the underlying market data needed to make informed decisions in the stock and forex markets. They knew that the power of data could level the playing field, enabling startups and established firms alike to compete on a level playing field.
During my insightful conversation with Jack, one of the cofounders at FMP, we delved into the major challenges investors and traders face with financial data and how FMP tackles them head-on.
Jack began by shedding light on the three primary obstacles every trader and investor encounters when dealing with financial data:
"Firstly," Jack explained, "integrating data seamlessly into applications, models, or reports can be incredibly complex. It's a puzzle that requires careful attention and effort."
"Secondly," he continued, "data errors are a prevalent concern, leading to investors and traders wasting time on data validation when they should trust the underlying data and focus on modeling.."
"Lastly," Jack noted, "accessing financial data from traditional sources can be prohibitively expensive, restricting valuable insights from reaching many potential traders and investors."
Curious about how FMP overcomes these hurdles, I asked, "What measures does FMP take to address these challenges effectively?"
"In our complex financial world, FMP rises to the challenge by simplifying data integration for businesses. We make it our mission to ensure data quality by providing reliable insights that save valuable time during validation. Our commitment to breaking barriers doesn't stop there; we've made financial data accessible and affordable for all, leveling the playing field for startups and established firms alike."
"As we forge ahead," he continued, "we continue to build new data sets and features to provide our customers with leading-edge financial market data. Our innovative approach to database management ensures speed and reliability. We combine our proprietary, sourced data sets to deliver affordable and trustworthy financial market data ."
Their approach to overcoming obstacles was driven by a collaborative spirit between employees and the founders, forming a solid foundation for their journey. This collaborative effort shaped FMP into the go-to resource for investment professionals seeking real-time and historical market data.
Their flexible semi-structured formats enabled the effortless transfer of diverse data, leaving users satisfied with over 150 endpoints in their API, including on-demand custom options for enterprise clients. FMP's success soared as its API supported over 70,000 stocks across global exchanges.
Beyond offering paid services, FMP embraced a vision of inclusivity, providing a free blog section and insightful how-to articles. This educational portal empowers those seeking to understand various metrics and ratios, fostering transparency. Additionally, the blogs guide small investors in building sophisticated data analytics apps using their data.
Their impact on the financial market has been nothing short of revolutionary. Offering financial data in a clean, affordable format, they unlocked possibilities for startups and retail investors. Now, testing hypotheses and developing trading apps are accessible without fear of bankruptcy or data complexities.
Intrigued by FMP's remarkable impact, I embarked on a journey to uncover firsthand accounts of their influence. One such narrative caught my attention: that of ThinkValue.co, an innovative hub for financial analysis and valuation.
"As I crafted ThinkValue.co, a revolutionary financial analysis and valuation software, I found myself at the crossroads of data and innovation. Seeking a data provider that could power my vision, I encountered FMP. Their raw data, carefully structured and easily accessible, proved to be the catalyst I needed.
My experience with FMP's raw data was transformative.
