Dataminr is a company which applies analytics to Twitter to detect events likely to move financial markers.

History
Dataminr was founded in 2009 by three former Yale roommates. As of December 2015, Dataminr had roughly 75 financial clients, which included many of the top hedge funds and big investment banks. On January 19, 2017, Dataminr terminated service for RT.

Government intelligence agencies
In December 2016, Twitter stopped giving government "spy centers" (such as the CIA) access to Dataminr, which Twitter it partially owns.
