Fintech Sandbox is a unique, non-profit data source for entrepreneurs enabling them to build and scale their early-stage fintech products.

As a Data Partner, Kaleidoscope provides API (Application Programming Interface) access to a wide range of pre-defined and searchable securities datasets that have been extracted and aggregated from registered US and Canadian filings, including public companies, investment companies, funds, investment advisors, and US insiders. Kaleidoscope also creates custom APIs to support unique applications. Through its Data Access Residency, Fintech Sandbox currently offers a robust set of market, banking, investment, corporate fundamentals data, and more.

Participants in Fintech Sandbox’s Data Access Residency will have an accelerated approval process and access to test data from Kaleidoscope. Kelly Fryer, Executive Director at Fintech Sandbox commented, “We are delighted to add Kaleidoscope as a Data Partner. Kaleidoscope’s APIs are a natural complement to our current set of securities data, enabling source validation and detail that numbers alone cannot unveil. Kaleidoscope will enable more of our startups to build and scale their early-stage fintech products.”

“We recognize the importance of the role Fintech Sandbox plays,” commented Raul Peralta, CEO of Kaleidoscope. “Having been a participant in the Data Access Residency, we have experienced the benefits and wanted to ‘pay it forward’ to the entrepreneur/startup community in a sense.” He added, “We look forward to helping other startups boost their development projects using our simple, yet powerful RESTful API to supply SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and Canadian SEDAR filings, extracted datasets, or custom content to provide affordable development cycles and seamless integration.”
