Company

A research and development lab for market structure.

Paragon Labs was founded in London in 2023. Today the team is spread across several countries. The lab works where markets, cryptography and distributed systems meet, on one premise: careful research into a market usually ends in something worth building.

Model

Research that ends in software

We start from a question about how a market prices, settles or orders trades. Often the answer is a specific mechanism that would work better than what exists.

We build that mechanism, keep ownership of the software, and license it. Several of our partners’ businesses run on software Paragon developed this way, after we researched their field and solved a problem at its centre.

We take contracted research and development as well.

Funding

Backed by investors, sustained by clients

Paragon has raised over $7.5 million in private funding from investors and partners, including:

Cyber Fund · Nethermind · Robot Ventures · Delphi Digital · Monoceros

Today Paragon is not accepting outside funding. It sustains itself on software licensing to long-term clients, and on bespoke research and development with new ones.
