TwoWay, the real-time trading intelligence platform for institutional traders, today announced its €1.5M pre-seed funding round led by welovefounders, with participation from Tenity, Plug and Play, SuperCapital, Unorthodox Partners, and several business angels, traders, and industry experts.
The financial markets remain voice- and chat-driven, fragmented, and lack centralized price discovery, leaving institutional traders with hundreds of broker messages per hour: real-time prices, axes, and market indications arriving faster than any person can process. Traders miss up to 80% of them, costing €1–3M per trader per year in missed opportunities, mispricing, and operational risk.
TwoWay is already in use and delivering significant value with top-tier financial institutions in Paris and London, helping traders across FX, Rates, and Fixed Income desks.
Transforming the flood of broker messages into structured, real-time trading intelligence, TwoWay gives traders the information advantage to capture more opportunities, price with confidence, and never be left behind by a market that has already moved.
“As an early adopter, I’ve been impressed by TwoWay’s accuracy and efficiency in parsing messages and retrieving high-quality pricing data. This has been a significant value-add for our trading algorithms and traders, enabling more informed decisions. I believe it will become an indispensable tool for traders to stay ahead of the curve.”
— Julien Suppo, Head of Electronic FX Swap Trading, BNP Paribas
“We are proud to have supported TwoWay and its CEO, Chirine, through our Innovea acceleration program. Her clear vision, combined with TwoWay’s strong execution and market-driven technology, perfectly reflects the type of innovation we aim to foster at Caisse des Dépôts. This funding round is a major milestone and a strong validation of the strategy and ambition carried by the team. We look forward to continuing this journey together.”
— Nadia Filali, Chief Innovation Officer, Groupe Caisse des Dépôts
“The front office of every major trading desk has been systematically underserved by technology for decades, and it’s a problem worth billions. TwoWay is the rare team that can fix it: traders and financial software veterans, they have already earned institutional trust by building with traders rather than around them.”
— Olivier Tabery, Co-founding Partner, welovefounders
“We built TwoWay with traders from day one — not for them, but with them, in production, under real market conditions. The result is a platform that combines deterministic, proprietary algorithms with AI to deliver predictable, sub-millisecond intelligence, deployable on-prem within any institution’s infrastructure. This round takes that capability across asset classes, on both buy side and sell side.”
— Chirine BenZaied-Bourgerie, CEO & co-founder of TwoWay
The capital will be used to deepen TwoWay’s proprietary models, expand coverage across additional asset classes — including rates derivatives, credit, and commodities — and grow the team to accelerate deployments with financial institutions across Europe and the UK.
