some of the founders of Clear Street, a fairly large brokerage on Wall Street have since invested [3] in TigerBeetle
"Invested" in terms of "giving you money" or in terms of "Now uses the database themselves"? I read it as the first, but I think the question is about usage, not investments.
I work on the ledgering system at clear street and as far as I know we have no plans to do this. We evaluated it internally a few years ago and found that the account and transaction model was too different from ours to migrate over.
Hi Thomas, yes, I was there. However, this is something that Sachin and I subsequently discussed last year (Sachin recently provided the TPS footnote to be used in the report here). However, I understand that roadmap may since have changed, but this is to the best of my knowledge.
Hi -- Sachin here, one of the founders of Clear Street. To clarify:
- The investment in TigerBeetle was done personally, not through Clear Street.
- I'm no longer actively involved day-to-day as CTO at Clear Street, but while I was, TigerBeetle was a solution we very much had in mind as our volumes were increasing.
That said, roadmaps change, priorities shift, etc. If TigerBeetle existed when we started Clear Street, I very much would have used it, and saved me from many headaches.

Both. In terms of investing and planning to migrate.

Thanks for the clarification :)
