A financial technology and brokerage platform serving about 300 firms with cross-border and embedded investing infrastructure.
CEO target: nine-digit scale in 2026 (future target, not achieved revenue)

Tony Petrilli describes ViewTrade as a financial technology business that began with cross-border brokerage services and expanded into a technology platform for financial firms. The initial problem was practical: non-US brokers needed access to US markets, and ViewTrade could connect those firms through its brokerage operations. The company then built technology to support the workflow, using revenue from its brokerage activity to fund product development rather than relying on outside capital. Petrilli says the technology was ready to take to market in 2020. Existing clearing relationships created an opening: firms that would otherwise wait years to connect could license ViewTrade’s technology and use established integrations. The offer evolved into a turnkey stack covering trading, operations and middle- and back-office needs. The interview says ViewTrade now works with about 300 firms globally. It gives no revenue total; the CEO says he expects 2026 to be the year the company reaches nine digits, a future target rather than achieved revenue.
