From Wall Street to Your Screen
RiskWhale was founded in 2022 by Brooks Benson, a former hedge fund trader who recognized a critical disparity in the market. Institutional players had access to sophisticated analytics and real-time data flows that gave them a significant edge, while retail traders were operating in the dark.
Our platform was built to level this playing field. We process millions of data points daily—from order flow to sentiment analysis—and distill them into actionable intelligence.
We believe that with the right tools, any trader can make informed, data-driven decisions. RiskWhale isn't just a platform; it's an infrastructure for professional-grade market participation.
