San Francisco -- Livevol, a San Francisco-based provider of real-time data to professional and retail equity and index option traders, said on Wednesday it has raised an unspecified amount of private funding. Ron Chez, the co-chairman of Merriman Capital, served as lead institutional investor, and will join Livevol's board of directors. The company plans to use the proceeds to expand its data, analytics and brokerage services. "The investment… provides Livevol with a strong financial base and a strategic partner as we further grow our platform to become the premier technology provider for equity and options trading," said Stefen Choy, the co-founder and COO of Livevol.
