n2 Group acquires STAC

STAC neutrality and rigor remain unchanged

24 July 2024

A note from STAC Founder, Peter Lankford:

I’m excited to share some news with the STAC community: STAC has been acquired by n² Group, the parent company of NAG and VSNi.

n² Group selectively invests in advanced and scientific computing companies that have a significant impact across various sectors. They provide operational support and central services to drive innovation and strategic advancement in n² businesses.

Rest assured, STAC will continue to operate as an independent business within n² Group, preserving our brand, identity, and ethos. I will take a new role as Strategic Advisor to STAC, and the entire team will remain in place, including CEO Jack Gidding.

Importantly, n² Group is a member-backed organization with no external financial interests, meaning that, like NAG, STAC will remain impartial and independent on matters of technology.

This acquisition aligns with a period of significant innovation in technologies crucial to low-latency trading, big compute, big data, AI/ML and cloud services. n² Group's technical and algorithmic expertise, combined with their deep research roots and community orientation, uniquely positions them to support STAC's growth while safeguarding our neutrality.

Joining forces with n² Group will allow us to enhance the information, tools, and services that our subscribers rely on for their strategic business needs. The objectivity and rigor that you value in our research will remain unchanged as we continue to hold ourselves to the highest standards.

We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to the opportunities it brings.

Thanks,

Peter Lankford
Founder & Strategic Advisor, STAC
