+My friend Matt, from VanEck, built a backend with data from Coingecko, Velodata, Artemis, CCdata, Glassnode, MSTR Tracker, Telegram and Google - all in OpenBB.

+
+[Matt Maximo](https://x.com/mattmaximo1) has been building a backend with data from Coingecko, Velodata, Artemis, CCdata, Glassnode, MSTR Tracker, Telegram and Google.
+
+However, he didn't find the best product where he could:
+
+1. Bring all this data into one interface
+2. Leverage an intelligence layer on top
+3. Collaborate with his team on it
+
+<br />
+
+Until he did.
+
+With our free tier - Matt was able to single-handedly create almost 50 different data widgets that he (and his team) will be able to access seamlessly on OpenBB.
+
+As we shift to firms being more in control of their data, and with the clear gains from having an additional intelligence layer on top of that data - the need for OpenBB in the market has never been clearer.
+
+Shifting the control back to financial firms.
+
+More open. More adaptable.
+
+If you want help on connecting your own backend (crypto or other) to OpenBB - reach out to myself and team.
