Yes. Something like 90% of our client roster is software companies; most of the balance is finance firms. (There are some companies that are a bit of column A and a bit of column B.) Some developers are under the impression that we only work with finance due to the theme of our first game, but we care about finance like Blizzard cares about orcs -- it is a convenient backdrop on which to hang fun gameplay, stories, and a few pedagogical goals. (Mostly engineering-oriented rather than market-microstructure oriented, but if we totally change the tenor of HN HFT threads I will be very happy indeed.) Many of our finance industry clients/prospective clients have, shall we say, more process requirements to adopting new vendors than typical software startups have, and rather less reason to trust that we know what we're doing. This makes the sales cycle longer. Medium-term, I'd love for us to be a good place to get developer jobs in the finance industry. If you were hypothetically in a conversation with me today about opportunities constrained to finance (and not FinTech), I would not have as many options as I want to have, but I'd hypothetically recommend keeping in touch and/or waiting for consequential announcements later in the year.
