West Loop Ventures focuses on backing B2B FinTech companies that cater to institutional clients, since the finance industry's fundamental infrastructure is poised for a major transformation in the next decade or so. Chicago witnessed the capital markets revolution between 1997 and 2002, which resulted in the creation and sale of major firms to prominent institutions such as OptionsExpress, ThinkorSwim, and Archipelago. The current ecosystem in Chicago has registered VC-backed exits totaling 23.5 billion dollars between 2010 and 2015. Another such revolution is underway.
