Tomás Carruthers is a proven entrepreneur in market data, electronic trading and related technologies. In 1994 he was the first to be licensed by the London Stock Exchange to publish share price data on the internet; in 1995, he had the first licence from LIFFE to publish traded options prices on the internet.

Through the start up of ESI Electronic Share Information Ltd, now the UK division of E*TRADE Financial Corp, he was a pioneer of the online broking sector in Britain, building the first online broking firm in partnership with ShareLink (afterwards Charles Schwab Europe) in 1995 and subsequently building order management and dealing platforms for Stocktrade (a division of Brewin Dolphin) and Charles Stanley as well as for Flemings in Luxembourg, Jardine Fleming in Hong Kong and Union Discount in London.

He then founded Interactive Markets Ltd, which ventured with Dresdner Kleinwort Benson and Winterflood Securities (the market-making business of Close Brothers) to deliver in 1998 the UK’s first fully automated small-order execution platform. He also established a solutions business delivering internet services for fund managers and life offices including Standard Life, Investec, Flemings, Dexia, Old Mutual and others.

From 1998-2001 he was CEO of interactive investor plc, floating the company on the Official List of the London Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ main market in February 2000 and growing the business to one million registered users later that year. The firm was acquired by AMP in August 2001. In 2001 he was voted the most influential executive in the 'top fifty in online financial services' by EFS (Electronic Financial Services) magazine.

Following the acquisition of interactive investor, he was appointed a Director of AMP International & Technology Ventures.

In 2003 he founded this company, with the idea of creating an independent media and broking platform that could assist anyone to do their own product and company research from the simple to complex, enabling them to participate in the financial markets.
