Our take

Fixed income securities are investments that provide a steady interest income stream for a certain period. Their appeal is clear, but the infrastructure for navigating the market has historically been fragmented, opaque and highly manual - which is what Moment sets out to fix.

Moment is a modern take on fixed income infrastructure. Through a set of institutional-grade APIs, its clients can navigate the quickly evolving fixed income markets much easier, with functions including automated execution, risk management tools, and powerful analytics.

Collectively, Moment's APIs already power fixed income investing for firms representing upwards of $100 billion in assets, and it has evidently made good strides towards its goal to transform fixed income into a modern financial market. With funding secured from Andreessen Horowitz, among others, the company is ready to expand its team, operations, R&D efforts and grow its partnerships with financial institutions.
