Leadership
Our team has designed, built, and managed some of the largest and fastest electronic trading infrastructures in the world.
Seth Friedman
CEO & Product VisionFormer MD at Morgan Stanley, where he established the electronic trading business. As MD at Nomura, he designed NXT Direct—the world's fastest FPGA-based DMA platform, holding the speed record until ÜberNIC.
Alex Stein, PhD
CEO, North AmericaFormer MD at Two Sigma where he built the Alpha Capture program. Serial entrepreneur and 4x founder, including FarSight Financial (first US internet broker). Started career in DEC's semiconductor group.
Campbell Gunn
Chief Operating Officer35+ years buy-side leadership including Goldman Sachs Asset Management and Head of T. Rowe Price Japan. Former Asia CIO for Dresdner RCM. He understands the infrastructure buying process because he was the buyer.
Ted Johnson
General CounselFormer Managing Partner Japan for Paul Hastings and Partner at Orrick. 25+ years in M&A, private equity, and venture finance. Serves on the Japan Steering Committee for the American Bar Association.
IP Portfolio
Our intellectual property portfolio includes 14 granted patents covering key innovations in ultra-low-latency networking, hardware-based transaction processing, and FPGA-accelerated data handling. Click any patent to view details.
Foundational patent covering hardware-based validation of electronic trading orders using FPGA technology. This innovation enables real-time verification of order parameters before transmission to exchanges, reducing risk and improving reliability in high-frequency trading environments.
Describes methods for distributed processing of network packets across multiple hardware elements to achieve higher throughput and lower latency. Enables parallel packet handling while maintaining ordered delivery and consistency.
Innovative dual-path validation architecture that allows simultaneous processing of primary and secondary validation rules. This approach maintains wire-speed performance while supporting complex validation logic without introducing latency.
Describes encoding transaction metadata within Ethernet frame headers for line-speed validation and routing. This technique enables hardware-based transaction verification without requiring deep packet inspection, maintaining sub-microsecond latencies.
Extends data-link layer encoding techniques to support full line-rate messaging with integrated validation. Enables high-throughput communication between trading systems while maintaining message integrity and ordering guarantees at wire speed.
Core ÜberNIC technology enabling simultaneous message forwarding and validation. By processing validity checks in parallel with message transmission, this approach achieves effectively zero added latency for validation operations.
Describes efficient methods for encapsulating application payload data into optimized message frames for FPGA processing. This technique reduces overhead while maintaining compatibility with standard networking protocols.
Advanced parallel processing architecture for simultaneous payload handling and validation across multiple FPGA processing elements. Achieves maximum throughput while maintaining strict ordering and consistency guarantees.
Innovative memory architecture optimizing read and write paths independently to maximize throughput in both directions. This asymmetric design reduces contention and enables higher sustained data rates for network I/O operations.
Continuation patent extending asymmetric memory architecture techniques with additional optimizations for PCIe bus utilization and cache coherency. Further reduces latency and improves sustained throughput for high-bandwidth applications.
Comprehensive framework for embedding validation metadata within Ethernet frame headers. Enables hardware-accelerated message verification without application-layer parsing, maintaining line-rate performance.
Complete FPGA-based transaction exchange system enabling peer-to-peer trading without traditional software stacks. This architecture supports microsecond-scale matching and execution entirely in hardware logic.
Latest continuation of data-link layer validation techniques with enhanced support for emerging network protocols and increased validation complexity without latency penalty.
European patent grant covering zero-latency validation techniques. Provides IP protection for ÜberNIC core technology across European markets, including financial services hubs in London, Frankfurt, and Zurich.
