About the company

Vega’s modular, API-driven architecture ensures compatibility with a broad range of existing point solutions and third-party stakeholders, setting the foundation for the first purpose-built infrastructure layer for the alternatives industry.

Vega's founding team comprises alternatives specialists from investment firms such as KKR, Blackstone, Elliott, and Goldman Sachs, along with top product and engineering talent from successful fintech scale-ups like Revolut and Trade Republic. Vega has raised over $28m in funding from Apollo, Motive Ventures, Picus Capital, Citi Ventures, and 60 senior executives from the alternative investment industry.
