Ideal Customer
- Eventus is purpose-built for enterprise-level financial institutions operating in high-volume, complex, multi-asset trading environments, with typical annual spend estimated at $100K or more.
- Its sweet spot includes tier-1 and tier-2 banks, broker-dealers, FCMs, proprietary trading firms, exchanges, and digital asset platforms that process millions of messages per day and must meet rigorous, multi-jurisdictional regulatory obligations.
Key Differentiators
- Eventus positions the Validus platform as uniquely capable of handling the most complex, high-volume, real-time surveillance environments—a claim rooted in its founding by capital markets practitioners and compliance officers who experienced the gaps in legacy solutions firsthand.
- Key differentiators include platform flexibility and data-source agnosticism (ingesting any data from any source), deployment versatility (cloud or on-premises, real-time or T+1), 200+ pre-built procedures customizable to individual client needs, and the Frank AI solution for deterministic AI-assisted alert review and automation.
Industries Served
- Eventus exclusively serves the financial services industry, with no crossover into other sectors.
- Its client base spans tier-1 and tier-2 banks, broker-dealers, futures commission merchants (FCMs), proprietary trading groups, exchanges and alternative trading systems (ATSs), buy-side institutions, energy and commodity trading firms, crypto and digital asset platforms, and regulators.
Service Coverage
- Eventus operates as a global provider with clients on six continents, including active presences across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and the Asia-Pacific region.
- The company is headquartered in Austin, Texas, with offices in major financial hubs including New York, London, and Hong Kong, and has established footholds in Singapore, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia.
Partnerships
- Eventus has forged strategic technology partnerships to extend its data and surveillance capabilities globally.
- Key integrations include QuantHouse (providing QuantFEED market data across 150+ feeds via a single API) and VoxSmart (a communications surveillance provider, enabling combined trade and communications surveillance across the full order lifecycle).
Company Size & Ownership
- Eventus was founded in 2014 (with the Validus platform launched in 2015) in Austin, Texas, by capital markets practitioners Travis Schwab and Kerry Clendinning, with origins as an offshoot of proprietary trading firm RGM Advisors.
- The company employs approximately 91–105 people as of 2026, with headcount having peaked around 133 in 2023 before a period of consolidation.
Compliance & Certifications
- Eventus achieved SOC 2 Type 2 attestation in November 2023, covering controls related to Security, Availability, and Confidentiality, assessed by independent licensed CPA firm 360 Advanced, Inc. The company's security architecture is based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, with data encrypted in transit and at rest, source code tested against OWASP Top Ten, and continuous security review by CrowdStrike Falcon and TrustedSec penetration testing.
- While SOC 2 Type 2 is not a regulatory requirement for trade surveillance providers, Eventus pursued it voluntarily to demonstrate commitment to data protection for its highly regulated financial services clients.
