== History ==
BMLL Technologies was founded in 2014 in the machine learning laboratories of the University of Cambridge. The company's initial focus was on developing a platform that would enable researchers and quants across global financial services firms to apply complex statistical techniques to unique big-data sets.
In 2019, the company underwent significant changes in leadership, with Lee Hodgkinson joining as chairman and Paul Humphrey as CEO. This new management team repositioned the company for growth and led it through two successful funding rounds: an A+ round of approximately $11.5 million during the 2020 pandemic, and a Series B round of $26 million in October 2022.
BMLL has expanded its market coverage over the years, adding data from various global exchanges including LSEG, Borsa Italiana, CME Group, Euronext, Tokyo Stock Exchange, US markets (CBOE, NASDAQ, NYSE), and several European and Asian exchanges.
