At the recent Benzinga Fintech Awards, Sean Kozak, managing partner and CEO of Tickblaze, outlined a strategic push to expand the accessibility of advanced trading technology. Previously tailored to institutional clients, the company aims to bring its tools to retail traders, aligning with the event's focus on innovation in financial technology.
Bringing Institutional Tools to Retail Traders
Tickblaze, initially developed for institutional firms such as hedge funds and proprietary trading desks, is taking steps to introduce its technology to a broader audience.
Kozak explained, "Our company was originally built for institutions, traders, and firms. We essentially evolved the technology to bring it mainstream retail."
Using the event as a platform, Tickblaze showcased its vision for making institutional-grade trading tools available to the public, reflecting a shift in its mission to democratize advanced market solutions.
Partnerships and Collaboration Drive Expansion
Kozak emphasized the importance of partnerships in Tickblaze's growth strategy, describing discussions with brokers, institutional clients, and other fintech firms. "It is about our partnerships with brokers, institutional funds, and clients," he said, highlighting the collaborative opportunities present at the event.
The emphasis on partnerships extended beyond business deals, with Kozak focusing on solutions to address industry challenges. He noted the event's role in fostering collaboration: “This entire event is about B2B partnerships and finding synergy between different organizations."
A Launchpad for Future Growth
Tickblaze used its participation in the Benzinga Fintech Awards as a springboard for unveiling its retail-focused strategy. Kozak described the event as a pivotal moment for the company's journey, adding, "We strategically chose this event because we have a very similar vision to Benzinga, in that innovation should be accessible to everyone."
Looking Ahead
Kozak praised the event's ability to convene major names in the fintech community, describing it as essential for any company aiming to impact the industry. "It's the who's who crowd of the FinTech space," he said, reaffirming Tickblaze's commitment to participating in future Benzinga events.
The company's efforts to expand its audience reflect a broader mission to reshape the accessibility of trading tools. With a clear focus on collaboration and addressing the needs of both institutional and retail users, Tickblaze is positioning itself to lead in financial technology.
