## About

Based in Massachusetts, US, and founded in 2019, Databento, Inc., formerly known as Elisify, Inc. Co-founded by CEO Christina Qi and Luca Lin, operates as a market data platform. In April 2026, Databento, Inc. raised USD 97 million in series B funding led by New Enterprise Associates, with participation from Tribe Capital, Redpoint Ventures, and DRW Venture Capital. 

Databento provides live, historical data as well as market and alternative data in different file formats such as binary, CSV (comma-separated values), and JSON (javascript object notation). The company's software backs up live data from servers, allowing organizations and financial institutions to capture operations, reduce storage costs, and eliminate data loss.

The company generates revenue based on the usage of the user that they have used but the end of the month is measured in GB units and priced at USD/GB.
The company plans to use the April 2026 funding to expand market data coverage across more asset classes and regions, scale its infrastructure, add data centers, and increase storage capacity.
