History:
Founded in 2016 by financial services, exchange and trading industry veterans, the Founders of Blue Ocean Technologies (BOT) established the broker dealer subsidiary Blue Ocean ATS to build the trading platform BOATS and launch Blue Ocean Session to provide greater transparency and liquidity to trade US stocks at a time more convenient for many global investors. Their primary goal was to develop an electronic, exchange-like, trading platform to fill the US overnight trading gap. BOATS’ Blue Ocean Session went live in June 2021.
In 2021, Urbana Investments became a strategic investor in Blue Ocean Technologies strengthening our ability to deliver our services to global investors.
Vision:
The goal is to make trading possible through the night while empowering investors during non-traditional hours. The vision is to move away from legacy “New York only” trading time and provide a seamless trading environment at unconventional times.
