M&P Ep. 168: Christina Qi, Founder & CEO of Databento

Both startups and global corporations are often forced to pay thousands of dollars per month for strategic data, of which they only use a small percentage. Databento, founded by Christina Qi, is the newest solution to this problem. Offering both market and alternative data, Databento uses a pay as you go pricing model, so companies only pay for the data they need.
Designed for the modern-day trader, both companies and individuals can use this affordable option to gain raw market data, reference data, and textual data, all of which can be used to help predict a company’s potential pitfalls or successes. Founded in 2019, Databento now has over 4,000 sign ups, half of which are startups. Listen as Christina discusses her incredible founding story, how she established an inclusive company culture, and the unique features included in Databento's software.

3) Can't wait for her to publish her manuscript.
