We built the analytics layer
financial teams were missing

Six years ago, we were on the buy side. The tools available to us were either too slow, too generic, or too expensive to run at the latency modern markets require. So we built our own.

Our story

Started on the buy side. Built for the whole market.

Nexara started in 2019 as an internal analytics tool at a mid-size systematic fund in Tallinn. We needed real-time signal generation, risk monitoring, and alternative data processing — and the existing vendors were charging enterprise prices for infrastructure that couldn't keep up with market microstructure changes.

By 2022, we'd rebuilt the core engine from scratch and started talking to other firms about the same problems. In 2023, we productized it. Now we deploy to banks, hedge funds, family offices, and asset managers who want institutional-grade AI without the institutional-grade implementation timeline.

We're based in Tallinn, Estonia. Remote-first, twelve people, entirely focused on one thing — building the best financial AI infrastructure available at any price point.

"We didn't want to build another dashboard. We wanted to build the infrastructure underneath."
— Marcus Webb, CEO
How we think

What we believe about financial AI

Belief 01

Latency is alpha

A signal that arrives 30 seconds late isn't a slow signal — it's a wrong signal. Everything we build is optimized for sub-200ms delivery because that's the only latency that matters in production.

Belief 02

Explainability isn't optional

Black boxes don't survive regulatory scrutiny and they don't earn analyst trust. Every model output comes with documented reasoning. If you can't explain a decision, you can't defend it.

Belief 03

Integration beats replacement

We don't ask firms to replace their Bloomberg, their OMS, or their existing stack. We connect to it. The value is in the AI layer — not in forcing workflow disruption.

Belief 04

Small teams ship better infrastructure

Twelve people, zero bloat. Every engineer at Nexara has shipped something that's in production. We stay small deliberately — it's how we stay fast.
