Ownership or founding is associated with Len Zacks; introducing broker to Interactive Brokers, which also shapes the product’s technology and distribution. It should be evaluated on the precise legal entity serving the customer, not only the consumer brand. The company is privately held or not separately listed, so no public market capitalization is available.
