Our take
Born from its founders' decades of collective experience, Beacon Platform is a a next-generation, cloud-native, quant development platform that allows users to make the best of the custom risk management and trading applications they deploy and use on a daily basis.
The platform promises to make firms more agile by boosting developer productivity, increase ROI on R&D through its modern data science foundation, and build apps in days through rapid prototyping tools, allowing quant developers to instead focus on business values.
The funding it has secured has been put to expanding Beacon's workforce, particularly in engineering and sales, and scaling across markets in new locations. Further, the integration of the platform by Blackstone, a global alternative asset manager in 2021, accelerated the digital transformation of both companies. The company must continue such endeavors if it's to stay ahead of the curve.
