Cloud9 Technologies, a New York-based cloud-based communications company, has now secured $17.5 million in Series B funding round.

Cloud9 Technologies is founded by Jerry Starr in the year 2014. It offers a voice communication and analytics platform designed for the needs of the financial markets.

The company connects counterparties with the help of a cloud-based communications platform that eliminates the expenses which are associated with legacy hardware and telecommunication based solutions, with front office mainly focused data and transcription, purpose-built for the financial markets.

Executive Opinion

Lee Fulmer, Global Head of Innovation Lab at UBS Investment Bank, said, "Our decision to invest in and partner with Cloud9 makes sense for many reasons. Not only are we committed to equipping our own traders with tools for seamless and agile communications - even more relevant today during the current COVID-19 crisis - but also because we see many benefits to a cloud-based environment and the data insights that come with it".

Michael Elanjian, Head of Digital Innovation, Corporate & Investment Bank, J.P. Morgan, said, "We have been strong supporters in Cloud9's vision for cloud-enabled voice trading. We're at a turning point in how technology is transforming trading floors and Cloud9 is playing a critical role in the evolution of voice trading."
