Our History
The Liquidnet Story
In 2001, Liquidnet launched with a simple but revolutionary idea: give institutional investors a better way to trade large blocks of stock — anonymously, efficiently, and at lower cost. What started as a bold vision became one of the most respected names in global financial markets.
Over 25 years, Liquidnet grew from a scrappy startup into a global trading network spanning dozens of markets worldwide. But more than the technology, more than the trading volumes — it was the people. The team that built it, iterated on it, fought for it, and believed in it.
This reunion is a celebration of that community. Whether you were there in the early days or joined in later chapters, you were part of something that mattered. Come reconnect with old colleagues, meet the people who built the other pieces, and raise a glass to 25 remarkable years.
