Virat Singh is the Founder of Financial Datasets, an institutional-grade stock market API purpose-built for AI agents, quantitative researchers, and financial developers.

Virat studied at Stanford University and built his engineering and product chops at industry leaders including Airbnb, Acorns, Faire, and GoPro before going full-time on his own venture.

A prolific builder in public, Virat created one of GitHub's most-starred AI finance repositories, an AI Hedge Fund project with over 57,000 stars, cementing his reputation as a leading voice in AI-driven financial tooling.

Virat started Financial Datasets as a side project to solve broken stock market data access, then took a leap of faith to go full-time and was accepted into Y Combinator S26.

Financial Datasets now serves hedge funds and developers as their core market data layer, covering 27,000+ tickers across 30+ years of real-time and historical data via a single REST API.
