Going forward, Q4 expects its data and insights will become richer and more beneficial to each segment of the markets it serves, driving efficiencies, better interactions, and smarter decisions across the capital markets.
“We are honoured to rank alongside Deloitte’s fastest growing companies, and particularly proud of the growth we have achieved over the last few years,” said Founder and CEO Darrell Heaps. “While we are incredibly proud of what we have built to date, we are even more excited about what’s to come, as we work to fulfill our mission to unite 3 sides of the capital markets on our platform. We believe bringing corporates, the sellside and buyside together on our platform with integrated applications, shared identity and data, supported by enriched analytics will bring tremendous efficiencies to connecting the right company to the right investor, through the right bank, at the right time, and ultimately drive more effective interactions across the entire market ecosystem.”
