About Blue-Sky Nexus & viaNexus
Blue-Sky Nexus is reinventing how financial data is created, distributed, and consumed. Born from the acquisition and evolution of IEX Cloud’s assets, we are building the next-generation data marketplace for the world’s builders, innovators, and AI-powered workflows.
At our core is viaNexus — a high-performance, API-centric platform that connects premium proprietary content with third-party data partners, and delivers it to developers, fintechs, asset managers, brokers, and institutions with unmatched speed, control, and transparency.
We believe the future of financial data isn’t about bundling everything together at high cost — it’s about unlocking value, accelerating innovation, and empowering data providers and consumers alike. viaNexus does this by:
- Normalizing and onboarding data at unprecedented speed, turning raw sources into production-ready content with flexible access controls.
- Delivering data through high-performance RESTful APIs that scale from startup prototypes to mission-critical applications.
- Enabling new commercial models that let data owners monetize broadly, with precise pricing, governance, and redistribution terms.
- Bringing AI and agentic workflows to life through integrated technology that bridges structured financial data with advanced machine-assisted insights.
Whether it’s real-time prices, normalized fundamentals, news, or advanced analytics, viaNexus puts trusted, auditable, and AI-ready data in the hands of those who need it — without the complexity and costs of traditional aggregators.
Built for Today — Ready for What’s Next
Over the past year, viaNexus has moved from concept to live platform and active marketplace, onboarding partners, launching data products, and proving a new model for scalable financial data delivery. Our marketplace isn’t just about feeding APIs — it’s about enabling a new ecosystem of data innovation and intelligent workflows.
We’re committed to:
- Accelerating fintech and enterprise innovation through modular, scalable data components.
- Empowering data partners with frictionless onboarding, robust entitlements, and attractive economics.
- Democratizing access from individual developers to global firms — with transparent pricing and AI-ready capabilities.
Join us at viaNexus as we pave the way for a more informed and empowered financial future.
