Led by Lux Capital with participation from leading real estate operators and investors

NEW YORK, July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Perchwell, the modern data and workflow platform for residential real estate, today announced its $25 million Series B financing. Lux Capital, who participated in the company’s Series A, is leading the funding and is joined by a group of strategic real estate and financial investors including Starwood Capital Group, Flex Capital, Stellar MLS, REcolorado MLS, and California Regional MLS (CRMLS). The capital influx will accelerate delivering best-in-class software to MLSs and brokerages in New York City and nationwide. Among other features, Perchwell’s product development will focus on AI related to data and workflow enhancements that empower real estate professionals to enhance their services and generate more revenue.

“At Perchwell, we are elevating the way real estate agents convey value to their clients,” noted Brendan Fairbanks, CEO of Perchwell. “We provide agents with powerful property-centric data in web and mobile platforms under a single seamless solution, empowering them to deliver accurate, precise guidance at a moment’s notice.”

As the real estate industry undergoes significant change and the value of agent services remains under a critical spotlight, MLSs and brokerages are demanding cutting-edge technology and data solutions to better serve homebuyers and sellers. Perchwell offers the modern end-to-end solution, streamlining workflows and providing professionals with state-of-the-art tooling to compete in this evolving landscape. The platform puts the MLS at the center of a modern tech ecosystem and features listing data enriched with supplemental data sets, plug-and-play APIs, powerful market analytics, and comprehensive mobile apps designed to help agents thrive in today’s ever-demanding environment. 

“While other industries rely on integrated software tools to manage their work, real estate professionals still spend much of their time shuffling between disjointed MLS data repositories, search portals, and various other point solutions,” says Peter Hébert, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Lux Capital, who will be joining Perchwell’s board of directors. “Perchwell is setting the new industry standard by bringing all that tooling into a complete and modern software platform. Agents nationwide have come to trust Perchwell to provide an indispensable competitive advantage in today’s dynamic real estate market.”

Merri Jo Cowen, CEO of Stellar MLS, one of the largest MLSs in the U.S. with more than 84,000 customers, commented, “Perchwell is enriching the MLS user experience, and advancing the core values of the MLS, giving agents a new edge to showcase their value. We are honored to be investors in Perchwell, knowing that the ongoing evolution of superior MLS systems/services fits with our commitment to bring success to brokers and agents.”

“This financing will add fuel and speed to our expansion and broaden features of our platform, empowering agents as trusted advisors to their homebuyers and sellers,” said Fairbanks. “We are grateful for the support of Lux, our MLS partners, and all Series B investors.”

Firm also earns “strong category leader” status for Energy and Equity Trade Surveillance Solutions in new Chartis Market Quadrants report

CHICAGO, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT), a global capital markets technology platform services provider, has earned the number 12 spot in the Chartis Buyside Platforms 2024 ranking of the top 50 providers of buy-side platforms and technology. The report released this month showcases the leading players in financial infrastructure and highlights providers delivering essential services and tools – including trading networks, market data, prime brokerage services and more – to buy-side market participants. The ranking, which Chartis called a testament of the “commitment to delivering exceptional value and innovation” to that community, provides insights into how the companies are shaping the industry with advanced solutions in asset management, risk assessment and operational efficiency.

Separately, in Chartis’ just-released Market Quadrants report, which provides a detailed evaluation of key providers offering advanced surveillance solutions tailored to the unique needs of the energy and equity markets, TT achieved “strong category leader” status for both energy and equity trade surveillance solutions. In both categories, TT received a four-star rank for “Industry Leading Platform Capabilities.” Of particular note, TT earned “industry-leading” four-star rankings across all measures in the equity surveillance category, including analytics and modeling, pre-trade reporting, post-trade reporting, data infrastructure and database management, and data visualization and ease/speed of access capabilities.

TT CEO Keith Todd said: “With a long history of service to the sell side, we have been working diligently to grow our appeal to buy-side market participants, and we’re incredibly honored to have earned in short order a number 12 ranking on a cultivated list of the top 50 service providers in the buy-side sector. It’s a great accomplishment that our broadening of products, asset classes and services available on the TT® platform – including our expansion from futures trade surveillance to a powerful multi-asset offering – are already achieving industry-leading recognition across important measures.”

Handling over 2.5 billion transactions this year, the TT platform connects to more than 100 global exchanges and liquidity venues across a growing number of asset classes. The platform delivers advanced tools for trade execution and order management, market data solutions, analytics, trade surveillance, risk management and infrastructure services to the world’s leading sell-side institutions, buy-side firms and exchanges.

Buy-side participants leverage a wide range of TT tools to meet their trading needs, including a comprehensive suite of advanced execution algorithms, algo design and deployment tools, Autospreader and APIs. Through Abel Noser Solutions, a TT company, market participants employ a wide range of sophisticated transaction cost analysis (TCA) products and services across global equities, foreign exchange, futures, fixed income and options.

In June, the firm launched TT Trade Surveillance, a multi-asset trade surveillance solution combining new multi-asset coverage and dozens of new configurable models to supplement the machine learning-driven models from TT Score, the company’s first-generation trade surveillance platform. TT Trade Surveillance provides enhanced trade surveillance capabilities to a wide range of asset classes, including futures, equities, equity options, fixed income and foreign exchange (FX). The system has also recently added a new, innovative way to identify cross-product manipulation, where users can input correlated instruments directly into the user interface to create a single synthetic instrument, and utilize the machine-learning spoofing models to identify patterns of spoofing activity across multiple order books.

With this recognition, TT has now been honored globally and regionally 14 times this year for the TT platform, trade surveillance capabilities, algorithmic trading solution, TCA tool, execution management system (EMS), order management system (OMS) and market data services.
