About Stocktwits

Stocktwits is a real-time financial communications platform for the financial and investing community.

Stocktwits created the $TICKER tag to enable and organize “streams” of information around stocks and markets across the web and social media. These streams provide new forms of insight, ideas, and information that are used by investors, analysts, media, and others as they research stocks and manage their investments.

The company was founded in 2008 by long-time investor Howard Lindzon.

Today, more than 300,000 investors, market professionals, and public companies share information and ideas about the market and individual stocks using Stocktwits, producing streams that are viewed by an audience of over 40 million across the financial web and social media platforms.
