austin federa discusses the challenges of building in a space where existing infrastructure cannot support the demands of new financial technologies.
"the internet was never built for mission-critical data."
"the beauty of the internet is you can spend 10 or 15 or 20 bucks a month and you can reach anyone anywhere in the world, but that's not a high-performance experience."
"we really wanted to open that up, democratize it, make it possible for traders anywhere in the world to get the same type of high-quality data and high-quality networks that the biggest trading firms in the world have."
