About Hackford

I founded Hackford to give sales, marketing, and strategy teams a clearer view of the regulated financial services landscape.

Too many data providers take a broad-brush approach, leaving professionals in financial services without the sector-specific intelligence they need. Our platform is built from FCA Register data, now extended with SEC investment adviser coverage, then enriched with proprietary classifications to reveal the structure, specialisms, and relationships within the market — from hedge funds to financial advisers, including firms operating across both UK and US adviser regimes.

At Beauhurst, I saw how high-quality, structured data could accelerate growth by turning market noise into targeted opportunity. Hackford applies this principle to the financial services sector, providing intelligence that empowers teams to identify prospects, map markets, and make smarter decisions.
