IEX Cloud helps developers build faster, scale easier, and bring ideas to life.
IEX Cloud, an IEX Group company
IEX Group was founded in 2012 with a simple mission: build fairer markets.
The company started by building a new stock exchange – the Investors Exchange – that aims to level the playing field for long-term investors such as mutual funds and pension funds that represent the savings of millions of people. The story behind the founding of IEX was chronicled in Michael Lewis’ 2014 book Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt.

Our commitment to developers
At IEX Group, we believe transparency and access to data are critical to fair markets. The Investors Exchange, also part of IEX Group and an IEX Cloud customer, is known for bringing that philosophy to the stock market by leveling the playing field for investors and bringing transparency to exchange costs.
Existing financial data offerings aren't built for modern technology. They are too expensive, restrictive, and complicated. Now, we are building IEX Cloud to break down those barriers and give our customers what they need to turn their ideas into reality – and bring more innovation into financial markets. It's a mission that's built into our DNA.
