Problem

Stock prices can move quickly and investors need real-time data to react to market volatility in both public and private markets. Unfortunately, information about private securities is limited and can be difficult to find.

"Stock prices change moment by moment in response to any kind of development, including official company news, speculation, or economic data released by the government."
