Our Mission

If you don’t know where your data comes from, how can you know what it means?

validityBase is an easy button for data credibility.

Our Story

In their careers, Greg and Dan both saw the critical role that trust—or lack thereof—plays in the success of financial business. Establishing the credibility of a trading strategy or a risk model can be extraordinarily challenging.

After working together on an investment fund, they realized that modern technology offers a solution. From this validityBase was born.
