NovaSparks builds ultra-low-latency FPGA market data solutions for banks, trading firms, and electronic markets. Its NovaTick ticker plant, delivered as a hardware appliance or PCIe card, normalizes and distributes real-time feeds across global equities, options (OPRA), and other asset classes with deterministic nanosecond latency. Integration is via a proprietary ultra-low-latency C++ Software API and the NovaSparks Wire Format (NSWF), a normalized message protocol whose full specification is provided to banks and trading firms under NDA rather than published publicly. NovaSparks is now part of Exegy. Surfaced as a portfolio company of Partech.
