FinanceBoards

What does your company do? What unique problem does it solve? Who are your customers? How long have you been in business? Where are you located? Who is your company's leadership? What kind of experience do they have? Anything else Benzinga should know about your company?

FinanceBoards builds a bridge to link the best of the terminal/dashboard systems that many institutions use and the unique APIs offered by lots of financial startups.

FinanceBoards combines these APIs, which are cheaper than ever, with the array of financial data that terminals offer, and integrates them into an easy to use dashboard platform. It's made up of widgets that can integrate any API data that the user has access to. FinanceBoards also accesses Wootrader's predictive analytics engine that determines which financial strategies are working at any given period during the market and adjusts weighing accordingly.

Our most recent feature was the integration of nine of the largest brokers (Fidelity, E-Trade, Scottrade and more), giving even more power to the hands of everyday traders.

Our customers are mostly individuals — from first-time investors too busy to learn fundamental, technical. option markets indicators to professional investors who realize the existing methodologies do not adapt quickly enough to today's changing market conditions.

We have been in business just over two years.

Our headquarters are in Tampa, Florida, but our team is widely distributed.

Atanas Stoyanov is the founder — with over 30 years' experience creating software products in a multitude of industries.

We are product focused and aim to change the very foundation of investing methodologies.

If you’re looking for cool fintech startups and access to top financial institutions, and are sick of attending stuffy corporate conferences, the Benzinga Global Fintech Awards is the event for you. From its first year in 2015, the competition grew to over 250 applicants and over 500 attendees in 2016.
